Re: New Blade

Plus i gather that Darksword has begun to make better swords recently. So maybe a new one will be really nice? I heard that they fixed some quality issues at the beginning of the year too It seems it based on some of the recent reviews I’ve come across on their page and elsewhere. Ideally the mak...

Re: New Blade

Bummer :( you will enjoy the darksword ranger sword though. I had one. It's pretty heavy but I liked it. That’s awesome! How was the quality? This sword is quite light I almost want something heavier. I went back and forth coughing up the $600 for weeks. Seems worth it though that sword is...beau...

Re: New Blade

Looking very cool :P that crack looks like a bit of a problem though, a potential weakness where the Damascus is folded (I wouldn't cut with it as it is), I can't tell how deep it is in the picture, if it's only a surface defect maybe it can be polished off? then there would be no chance of it spre...

Re: New Blade

Finally it has arrived. The craftsmanship appears good (to my untrained eye) and the sharpness is impressive.. The pommel is ever so slightly bent but this could either be from the lousy shipping handling or maybe a minor defect. All in all I do like this blade, check out pic number 3 and 4 though. ...

Re: Exploring the Ancient Forest today

If anyone ever asks me I usually say I'm testing kit for Historical trekking, most people you meet haven't enough knowledge to be able to tell otherwise, they usually say "that's interesting" and loose interest, that said, a lot of people don't ask and just give me a funny look and I've o...

Re: Looking for some boot options

I’ve been eyeballing a pair of these for a while from Armstreet.

They seem utilitarian and I’m hopeful the quality is as good as they look.

Maybe this would be an option for you as well?

Exploring the Ancient Forest today

Here’s some photos from today’s 7 miler. Lots of elevation gain on this one! Few travelers on the trail, very few. My cloak arrived right after I got home. :) I worry too much about others perception but wearing a cloak in full Ranger style probably wouldn’t seem as odd in the woods versus mos...

Re: Anyone going to this? Oct 30 - Nov 1 2020

Agreed,

Curious why they would do that. Seems like it’d be an awesome event though!

Anyone going to this? Oct 30 - Nov 1 2020

The Fell and Faire team (I presume) is putting on another event in South Carolina in Oct-Nov of 2020. Looks pretty awesome, I am heavily considering going and getting the wife on board to go as well. It’s far enough out to acquire some gear that will fit their rules. https://www.weekendwarriorexpe...

New Blade

Hello all, I’m new to the forums but a semi-long browser. I ordered my first full tang sword made of Damascus steel. Based on reviews I have faith it’ll be a great blade. I couldn’t yet afford the DarkSword Armory Ranger Sword. Not sure if anyone knows the shop or has bought from their store b...
