Hey there Wyrdmake! It's nice to see another Southerner join our ranks. Hope you enjoy your stay! As far as deer hide goes, if you're wanting to use it for your bags that will be in inclement weather, I highly suggest making sure the vendor offers veg tan! That will make it far easier to waterproof,...

Happy birthday, Cimrandir!!

Hey all! So I have been wanting to get ahold of/possibly build my own more accurately medieval arrows for my kit, and wanted to know what vendors y’all might be using. The vendor listed in the pinned Getting Started post no longer sells on Etsy, so I figured now is a good time to maybe get some new ...

I love the helm, Eofor. It really captures the cultural feel of the Rohirrim while seeming realistic and not too heavily ornamented for a commoner to own/wear.

When I was working as a butcher, we actually made and sold several batches of pemmican, and I even took some camping on a bachelor party trip as some good snack food. We added dried fruit to ours, and while I have seen others say that affects the shelf life of the pemmican, that makes zero sense to ...

I love the direction this project is taking aesthetically! Btw I definitely envision the eket to be a blade not dissimilar to a Swiss degen, kind of long for a knife but kind of short for a sword. I actually own a coustille from their production run with Kult of Athena, and can definitely vouch for ...

I’ve been thinking a lot about Dwarven design motifs lately, and how much I love the geometric hard-angles that Weta leaned into, but how I also love a lot of more intricate intertwining Norse and Saxon influenced designs, and in the end I think I’ve begun to form an idea of Dwarven aesthetics that...

I was thinking maybe something like a cinquedea? Wide and elegant. I know its rennaisance era, but I think it could fit. Since the cinquedea was itself inspired by blades from antiquity (particularly Greek blades), I feel like this would be an excellent comparison! I myself envision the eket as som...

The video popped up on my Recommended page a couple hours after it dropped. Udwin, I loved this video! can't wait to see a pack video!

This is incredible!

Nice! Thank you for your experience with his stuff. I just recently received both of these, and while the edge bevel on the dagger is a little steeper than I usually put on my working knives, it was very easy to get it shaving sharp and it takes curls from wood very well! The seax I got came unsharp...

Never done a goose over a fire but I've done chickens over hot coals! We coal-roasted relatively small chickens at one of the farm to table restaurants I've worked at and it turned out pretty well! Idk how different goose fat is to duck fat but if you can get some of the excess fat that usually hang...

I've always envisioned a more graceful version of a bauernwehr or rugger as Legolas' sidearm. Something with maybe a 12-16 inch blade, but lacking the guard structure of a smaller messer. I also don't really like the visuals of a traditional nagel for elven design, so I usually imagine it with a sim...

Aw thanks guys! I just got my wifi set up in my new place yesterday lol so I just saw this.

I actually was wondering this a while back and would like to know the answer as well.
