Greetings, I know Hawk and a few others out there have some curved blades to play with. I am interested in getting one myself and wanted to know what people...
For Arenal's 12 Night, which I believe will be the first or second weekend in January, (yes I know its even longer off than KWAR) but I would like to invite...
For those coming to Foxes this year, I was wondering when you preferred to fight. Last year I ended up being MIC for both the armored and rapier, so we had...
Well I, for one, would prefer one after the other but that's just so I can fight in both. Roan "The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to...
I don't get there before 10 anyway. B'ham to ToF plus the Time Zone lost. Stefan For those coming to Foxes this year, I was wondering when you preferred to...
For those interested, inspections will start at 09:30 to 10:30. The tourney will start 10:30 to 11:00. The field will be to the left of the main field, which...
You got it. Stefan I would like at least one person from each team to help marshal the field when not fighting or the next team to take the field. It doesn't ...
I am a few days from sending off for my first bit of equipment to become a rapier fighter. I figureed that a schlager blade would be my best bet so there is...
My e-mail at ynot2x has been hacked, and is sending out porn solicitaions. I'm unable to get in to my account, so Here's my new one. Please delete ynot2x, so...
Jonas, Zen Warrior is a good option if you are just starting out. You'll likely acquire more expensive stuff as you go. As for blade lengths, 35 and 40 inch...
Not to confuse you or be difficult but if your options are a schlager( a type of heavy rapier with no taper) and one with a taper(hanwei or darkwood as an...
Jonas, As has already been mentioned, I would opt for a Hanwei Practical Rapier Blade, or a Darkwood, or other similar rapier simulator rather than a Schlager...
Greetings, Jonas, and welcome! I'm not of Meridies, so pay close attention to your own Marshals, but you can find the current list of approved blades for all...
I'll add to what Corbin has said by making two recommendations. First, don't get a schlager bladed weapon. Spend the extra few bucks and get one of their...
I may have forgotten to mention in my initial inquiry that I am resident in Meridies which is Schlager only country as far as I know. As for the blade length I...
Also be aware that the longer schlagers will tend to be more "whippy" than the same or longer length practice rapier (Del-Tin type), whereas the 35" schlagers...
Jonas, The term "Schlager" is a generic descriptor for heavy bladed weapons, which include schlager, diamond schlager, and rapier blades. It's not meant ...
Joanus, If you itend to make armour, do yourself a big favor and get a marshal to punch-test the materials prior to putting anything together. It would be a...
Using the legs from old jeans as panels to be covered by a nicer fabric(again I would advise linen) is not a bad idea. I would suggest taking some small...
Oh, another bit of advice. When you order your rig try to find something that fits your personna. If your personna is mid-1500s, do some research and try to...
All I can say is let's make the tourney as early as possible, what with the heat and everything. Charles still melting from Pennsic ... [Non-text portions of...
Jonas, as a fellow Meridian fencer,I can assure you that Hanwei and Darkwood practical rapiers are legal in our kingdom. Hanweis will give you a lot of value...
I played with one at KWAR a coupls of years back. Interesting toy but I don't like the feel as a thrust only blade. Curved blades are for cutting. If we go...
