Thorsteinn:
Steel for steel my lads, steel for steel.

Ian:
Sadly, that's not surprising knowing the steel sledgehammers they call 'halberds' and 'falchions' in BotN.

Yes, indeed. QFT.

Sir William:
I take it the one who wore it is ok?

Thorsteinn:
Yes he's OK what with the suspension harness & whatnot and IIRC that's one of the European guys whom tend to have lower quality steel on their domes, thus why they have more dents in their helms than the US & Canadian teams.

BUT... not for nothing I'm unsure why if I can dent a helm well with a rattan sword that weigh's 3-ish lbs then why is it safe to strike a fencing masked man using a steel sword that weighs 3-ish lbs?

(IE: My 55" SCA greatsword with steel furniture is 3lb 9oz, and my 14 ga SS helm has dents)
