They've been around for a good long time. For the past 15 years or so they have had a booth at the New York Renfair and while I don't have any of their blades a good number of folkes swear by them for durability and their customer service. The only one I've heard of breaking was quickly replaced wit...

Hoods
As I mentioned in another thread, one of the " Ranger's Want List" posts got me interested in attempting a hood/mantle/cowl. I did the brown one in about 3 hours on Tuesday when I rec'd the chocolate leather. The second one took about 7 hours between yesterday and today. I rec'd the "...

Greg, Congrats on passing the falconry exam. May I suggest that when you are ready, you make a hiking staff with a fold out arm to use as a perch. To the newer folkes out there, If you don't want to show off your kit how about some off the personal items that you have or are proud of. Looking at ano...

I was off again this week, last vacation for this work year. Fear not my new calendar starts in two weeks. I did a few projects and one of them was Jessie's scabbard and belt rig. The scabbards, belt, kirtle (more like a kidney belt) were completed Monday with the exception of the buckle, which I ha...

Rethinking the Long knife/ ax defense, I would imagine that the axe would quickly be out of commission. It has a wooden handle. That will not hold up to a single sword strike. The axe is an offensive weapon only. What good is an axe outside of campcraft duties? While a handaxe/tomahawk does have a ...

Greg: I was looking for some inexpensive bodkins and I found these. Not 100% authentic but they look good and the price is very good. http://www.archery-centre.co.uk/Catalogue/ArrowHeads.shtml I'm refering to the ones he calls short bodkins at the top of the page, although he does carry more traditi...

The Kriegschwert was supposed to be available as of late fall 08, as of yet no one that I've checked has them in stock. I couldn't find a release date for the Bristol yet. These two are my favorites also but if I had to choose I'd go with the Bristol, I have too many hand and a halves, comparitively...

Leather Hide at a good price
This is a very good price for a hide. I bought 1 but won't receive it till well after the auction ends. Thought I'd pass it along, he has another 18. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280325650176&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:us The color will work wit...
