I agree. There is no need to set a second standard for varrying materials. If a material meets the current standard then it should be available for use now....
It is this kind of testing/abuse that should be done to experimental items. We need to know how it reacts with actuall adverse conditions. I know that they did...

Greetings, all-- Over the past few years I have been collecting ideas for tournaments, scenarios and melees that I've come across on the various fencing lists,...
I fail to see how the nature of the game has a bearing on the use of mail as armor ... granted there are but a few period references to discreet coats of mail...
While I am more than happy to submit to the will of my superiors, I want to say that I still believe that the mail armor should not be an experimental item so...
You were doing pretty good till you got emotional and then ya kinda lost it. You have issues with further testing, ok. The SRM could look at the current tests ...
If the mail ring welds pop on impact then those edges could easily cause puncture wounds with many of the "usual" force blows struck currently in fencing. Erik...
... My appologies if my last post seemed to have an emotional edge to it. I assure you it was unintentional. I understand why many people want further...
True. Could we perhaps ask the heavy fighters who use butted chain mail on bare skin if they ever have that problem? Or maybe the ones who use it are wearing...
... Rattan Daggers. (Had to say it since Shoiel is out of town :) Remember this is not a democratic Society. If the powers that be want it gone on pure...
Actually, that was a democratic vote, more or less. I had not problems with them, but everyone else did. So, I kept them out of our game. And when I was...
... chain ... ones ... Chain mail of any kind is rarely (read NEVER if you are doing actual period presentation), worn over bare skin. In the SCA, usually a...
It might also be borne in mind that, generally, the "mail glove" that was used (and advocated by masters such as Saviolo) was a leather glove with a mail palm,...
Most "heavies" (with apologies to Irene), wear something under their mail. Normally something padded. Mail is not kind to bare shin. Corwin True. Could we...
This is very true. I'd be curious to see what it would do to the test if a layer of triger were added behind it. Any plans to test it under those conditions?...
Master Lindy, please do not think I was accusing you in this matter. As I recall most of the people had a problem with them being ugly as opposed to a safety...
Perhaps someone else can refresh my memory on this, but I do believe I have seen (either live or on the 'net) period practice daggers with blades very similar...

Define EXPOSED. is it exposed if you can see it of if you can get a blade to it? If it is SEE, then out faces are EXPOSED through the mask or 1/8 in hole in ...
It is probably more the definition of "putting something in a harmful situation." Leaves it a marshals call if it is exposed or not. I'd say if I can touch...
The reasons for an undergarment are as follows.... 1. its an experiment. After it has been used and I get to see one, I may reconsider. 2. I would buy the...
I did not think you were addressing me. I just wanted to add my 2 cents. You get to do that when the kingdom gives you the bird;) Llywelyn Master Lindy,...

OK-it is totally a personal decision if you want to wear it without a lining, but chain has a reputation. Chain mail has a tendency to grab even the tiniest...
