What an awesome event!  I'd really love to hear the details on how the sharpened steel coronels are a safety feature.  I'm not questioning him, I just like to know these things so I can explain to others.  All he said was how it grips in to the shield, but I'm sure there's more to it than that.  I would love to attend an event like this.  Or one  day participate in one! :)

From myArmoury (http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=25494&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=), Arne Koets was asked about the steel coronels and their shield gripping properties with regard to safety:

Quote from: Arne Koets

That is one aspect of the safety, yes!

The other is that a big lump of steel does not extrude through a vision slit, whereas a bit of wood does.

Also the coronel does have a limit to it's penetration in comparison to a single point, that is however a small comfort, and definately the most publicised and least important factor.
