i bought an expensive sword but i only bought one

it's worth it when i see reenactors with less expensive swords break their swords, it's not worth it when i realize trying to have only one sword that fits with everything you need is a fool's errand

Oh, speaking of which, Castille Armory is doing a Cyber Monday sale. 10% off any of their production designs, including their very reasonable economy clamshell rapier/side ring dagger set.
they've gotten a lot better since i saw them a few years ago

I do REALLY like how Castilles feel but I am not a fan of them aesthetically.
i used to hate the way they looked but the economy rapier is not bad. one sixth the price of mine. but what i really need right now is a one-handed complex-hilted sword with a short, wide, heavy blade

edit: there's a picture of me wearing my sword in the hema thread and yall can see it's not long at all for fencing class but it's pretty long for fighting in the middle of a scrum of pikemen

So wading in close
This happened a while ago in Australia (the world's Florida) and I was wondering if that would have been a decent strategy to fight a woman with a long axe: just get as close as I could to her under her reach.

Of course it is if your timing is right and/or you can close from an advantageous angle. However if you have nothing to bind your opponents weapon, you are betting everything on your timing.
beats getting hit with an ax, you may as well fight back

It's taken me like 8 months but I finally have honest to gently caress sword calluses!

Lots of people in my club wear gloves to prevent blisters but some last tiny coal of Catholicism made me deal with the pain and now I can just swing a wire-wrapped sword nbd forever bare-handed. Hells yeah!

Also there's a separate HEMA thread? Where is that? Like give me a sub-forum and I can find it myself.

I fleched at my opponent and his foil tip snapped somewhere in the blur of it all and when I was done I had scored a point and he had ~1" of his blade buried in my (inner) thigh. The worst part was the medics pulling my knickers down in front of god and everyone at the tourney.



Fleche hard or go home (I did both).
that kicks rear end
