I do own the first tomahawk book. I've had it for several years, and have trained with it off and on. I really like the way it is laid out, and would love to get the second one someday.

What a great idea! I think I'll have to jump on board as well. WMA/NMA: I have two things in this area. First will be fitting some weapons training into my morning workout. I always carry a tomahawk with me in the field as well as a long knife, so that is what I will be training with. I would love t...

What deminsions and draw wrong are you looking for? Is it primarily for costume use, or will it see a lot of range time? I might be able to give it a go, but it depends on what you're looking for.

Looking at him before I posted this reminded me of the recent surcote/jerkin discussion. Your right Greg, I guess Tolkien's description inspired a lot of us in the same ways!

As a kid my brother bought me one of the Mithril brand miniatures of Aragorn. Looking at this mini for hours, taking in all the details, really formed a lot of my early opinion of how he should be dressed, and the kind of gear he would carry. As the years went by I gained access to different takes o...

Looking good! It's funny the looks you get when you're fully equipped, but it is a great way to test your stuff out. Wish that I'd known you were in search of a haversack. I make simple canvas ones, I could have gotten you one at least to try out even if it didn't end up as part of your permanent ki...

Ah, that's where I remember harpers from, the fall of Gil-galad. "Gil-galad was an elven king, Of him the harpers sadly sing. The last whose realm was fair and free, Between the mountains and the sea." I knew there was a reference in there somewhere! Not that you needed one,but there it is...

This is a great thread! I think that music and verse are vey much a part of Dunedain culture as evidenced by Aragorn first translating part of the lay of Leithian for the hobbits, also let us not forget the song that he wrote for Boromir. Of course the ultimate mother of Dunadain culture, Luthien, w...

Thanks guys, it was a great birthday!

I really like that strap design for the closure! How well does is stay in place when you're moving around?

Congratulations!!

I was thinking of RikJohnson's kit when I saw this. I had intended to copy it for my field repair kit, and I still probably will, but the simplicity of this idea spoke to me :lol: Since I have tons of leather scraps lying around, it was very easy for me to put the basic setup together. Now, once my ...
