The quiver I purchased from Medieval Collectibles - http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-4 ... uiver.aspx. I topped the quiver with some spare thermal fabric and stitched in a leather drawstring in able to protect the arrows from weather and snagging things in the wild.
My axe I purchased a looong time ago from Smoky Mountain Knifeworks, it is a Cold Steel Frontier Hawk. I have since replaced the handle, and stripped off the paint.

My utility knife. A replica of Strider's byknife. Originally only a blank blade, I sharpened for about 2 weeks every afternoon and evening until I could shave with it. It would belong more to my hard kit, but I guess in a pinch it would definitely become a weapon.

Blade length: 6 & 1/2"

Re: My Weapons (pic heavy)
I just bought it cause my re-enactment coat of arms is a white wolf head so it's just easier heh.
I love the DSA Ranger sword but at 5 lbs....the stainless steel strider sword is only 4 ibs and change...
