Is a peace tie more than something (leather strip) securing the sword in it's scabbard?

They use zip ties at VARF. Although they've let my cord tied rondel get by. :)

Ah, I was wondering what difference a bit of string around a handle would make if someone was crazy enough to draw a live blade for ill means, amongst a group of people who likely would enjoy thrashing such an individual for doing so.

I'm glad you were able to be there! We had a great turnout for this, and things went pretty well over all. We ended up going "off script" slightly, but I think it worked out OK.

I haven't weeded out the bad pictures or the duplicates yet, but here's the shots taken with my camera:

And of course a good group photo:

Man, what a great day!  Wish you other gents could've joined us but we'll all have an Order meet and greet eventually I would think...Lord Commander?  We should, if only to get a group shot of all current members- and of course, to drink ale and talk battlefield tactics!

HUZZAH!  HUZZAH!  HUZZAH!

I am proud to be a Knight within the Order of the Marshal.  And it was a pleasure meeting SwordChick in person- my apologies for the mixup.  ;)
