--- Quote from: Sir William on 2013-03-29, 18:55:16 ---Oh, its very cool, Ulrich. You can't hear the prick spurs at all...but you can hear the rowels jangling as they spin on their own and such. I love it...although you won't hear it while you're on the Fairegrounds unless its quiet - which it usually is not.

I prefer the metallic clang from separating my sword blade from its scabbard to jangling spurs in getting knightly attention, Sir William. Maybe you would be perfect for the wild west show, Wild Bill (William). lol :)

I'd have a look at that scabbard if your sword 'clangs' out of it; mayhap it has a metal chape when it shouldn't? Or it gets fouled somewhere on your harness as you draw it- I would look to the hang of your sword; might want to put it where that doesn't happen.
Now, if you will refer to my earlier post, the sound it makes is pleasing to my ears, not anyone else's...that is, whether they hear it or not is of no concern to me.
Lastly, with regard to 'knightly attention', I get that simply by being present. I don't even have to be in armor. ;)
Ulrich, you better jump on those...that's a great offer, Sir Ian. A knight who shows such largesse unasked for is a true model of chivalry.

As Sir William said, if that happens, you have a Hollywood sword or somebody is nearby and making sound effects. Also, MD Renn Fest, home fest to quite a few of us, doesn't allow weapons at all. So the spurs are a nice touch, since they aren't classified as weapons yet.

Indeed, take advantage of that offer, you'll have them in hand soon and won't have to wonder if it'll be one week or 3 months from RQP.
Sir Ulrich:
I think I will take that offer, my persona is around that time period anyway as rowel spurs appear in the late 13th in the 1290s and thats around the period I'm reenacting so they would work.

One of my scabbards does have a solid metal chape on top that gives me that metallic sound I love so much. ;D Of course, I also have rowel spurs too so I'm not one to talk about jangling. No need for adjustment as it is to intended design & use. Why should I not have a metal chape?? ???
