A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Arrows. Purchased from Longbowmaker888 on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1007107908.
Twelve 28" long cedar arrows with green turkey feather fletching and iron broadheads.
The quiver I purchased from Medieval Collectibles - http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-4 ... uiver.aspx. I topped the quiver with some spare thermal fabric and stitched in a leather drawstring in able to protect the arrows from weather and snagging things in the wild.

My axe I purchased a looong time ago from Smoky Mountain Knifeworks, it is a Cold Steel Frontier Hawk. I have since replaced the handle, and stripped off the paint.

Axehead is 1055 carbon steel, handle is American Hickory.
Total length: 21"
Hawk length: 6"
Primary edge length: 3 & 1/4"
Weight: Approx. 1 lb 8 oz.

My seax, Wolfreach. So amazingly crafted by Ringulf! Thank you again my brother for this beautiful creation!

Blade is 1055 carbon steel, handle is made of sculpted polymer.
Overall length: 17"
Blade length: 11"
Weight: ???
PoB: 1 & 1/2"

My utility knife. A replica of Strider's byknife. Originally only a blank blade, I sharpened for about 2 weeks every afternoon and evening until I could shave with it. It would belong more to my hard kit, but I guess in a pinch it would definitely become a weapon.

Total length: 10 & 3/4"
Blade length: 6 & 1/2"

I just bought it cause my re-enactment coat of arms is a white wolf head so it's just easier heh.

I love the DSA Ranger sword but at 5 lbs....the stainless steel strider sword is only 4 ibs and change...
