"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Cool, and yet... yikes.

I'm finding that smaller is better (to a point), the more I spend time working with the buckler. I really like the one I got from Allan recently. It's just right.

I saw the one Allan did at our VARF practice. It's very nice, and surprisingly lightweight.

I like my simple wooden buckler. Does the job very well and it was much cheaper!

You calling me a coward, Rauttskegg?  Just because they hide behind their shields (and their women) doesn't mean that I will!  lol
