"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."

A new toy for harnischfechten!
« on: 2015-01-27, 22:13:17 »
Here is a new dagger I plan on purchasing in the very near future to use in harnischfechten. ;D

I purchased the fencing mask punch tester today and will put my perforated steel I had welded over my helm's oculars to the test. ;)

We should test it also on James' nose just to be sure

That's the standard test for any new kit I believe, so this should be no exception.

It would be good to damage it a little more before its fully healed. As to be respectful.

Cool, I look forward to seeing it... and taking it, and stabbing you with it. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. ;)

Non-sense. James: Bring the Reeses with you so Brian's new toy can slice it up for the rest of us to have. Then we will test the durability of the nose. :)

Sir Brian, did I mention that my nickname at HEMA class is harnishfechten?

Therefore, going by the title of this thread, you bought me a new toy........

Much better than my nickname. In Civil War reenacting I earned the appellation of "Pickles" at my first event. I'll meet people I've never met before who'll say "Oh you're Pickles. I've heard about you." Very few people in that hobby actually know my name.

Should I be so lucky as to get a nickname. Well my airsoft team calls me skippy

“Rodney” was a nickname I picked up in junior high and carried through college.  There was more than one classmate our senior year who pointed out that the yearbook staff inserted the wrong name under my photo.  Of course, they hadn’t!   :)

Naturally I chose it as my SCA name.  Other than the SCA locals, everyone in the upper Midwest simply knows me as Rodney (as well as a few other names that are less than appropriate for this forum).   ;)

Nice dagger BTW.  We need some video of stabby stab!

Brian, I saw that very same Rondel dagger blunted on ebay for a decent price. How much was yours??
