Re: Axes

I very recently purchased 2-handed bearded axe from Avery Pierce. This is my second axe from Avery, and I can highly recommend his work. Both are very nice axes, and he is an outstanding man to do business with. I believe this axe to be ideal for Ranger use. Though I think that it is classed as a sm...

Re: Sword Preference?

It is a very nice shortsword. I own four swords by Gus Trim, or swords that have one of his blades, and they are all very nice. This one is small, but I think not TOO small for ¨practical¨ use as a back-up weapon by a Ranger. It cuts well, at least it cuts water-filled 2.5 and 3.0 liter plastic bo...

Re: Post your sparring gear: Livesteel, wasters, shinai, boffers

Back when I was studying the Regimental Highland Broadsword through The Cateran Society, I used a wooden waster from Purpleheart Armoury for safer, solo practice. I shortened the ¨blade¨ to 27.75 inches to match the one on my sword. I was/am very happy with this waster and recommend it to anyone w...
