Re: Ranger's Apprentice Style Saxe Knife and Throwing Knife

Reaching across with my dominant hand is perfect, and I will def. agree with the offhand reach around thing. It feels too awkward.

Re: Ranger's Apprentice Style Saxe Knife and Throwing Knife

Comparing the way Flanagan describes his knives to practicality, the weapons WOULD work well together, to a certain degree, but a few allowances should be made. For starters, the Seax he describes would work best (if intended to block the strike of the much heavier sword) if it were a Broken-back s...

Re: Back home at last!

Welcome aboard, Kiriana. It's good to have you with us. :D While it may not have been cheerful Kaelln, it was definitely true. Our society is based on too many unstable things, such as pharmaceuticals and energy sources. No one wants to do hard labor anymore, and most people think life should just h...

Re: Ranger's Apprentice Style Saxe Knife and Throwing Knife

I'll agree, that series is amazing. Ernildhir, if you ever get these, you have to post some pictures. I'm actually looking for a set myself.

Good, now I don't feel as bad.

Re: Back home at last!

You know, that's a very good idea. My family owns about 24 acres at the moment, but I feel like I'm the only one in the family with these ideals. I wish you tons of luck. And I really hope it works out for you.

Re: finished curly maple scabbard

I may be a few seconds late on this, but that is AMAZING detail on the carving. Absolutely stunning.

Unfortunately, my then and now begins here. I need to get some NOW pictures to start with.

Great looking kit at the end, though.
