Hi Milo!

Amazon still says "out of print, limited availability" which implies to me that the publisher has not yet shipped copies to amazon's warehouses in the US. I'll keep watching for it...

Hi Chris!

I'm not at all familiar with the Italian saber tradition. I do think Hutton is overly complicated and prefer the earlier Angelo method. I also think the works by Angelo and Waite lay...

I realized that going through 5 pages of listings of manuals could be a rather daunting task! And I had some time on my hands, so…… here are my recommendations:

John Taylor, 1804: Likely the...

Of note, the only Regenyei saber safe to use a thrust with during freeplay is the "Matt Easton" model, which has a rolled tip. There are very few training sabers on the market. The most readily...

You're in luck! :D

Very good work! I looking forward to seeing more!

Keith

Great! I'm putting it on my calendar! :-)

Thanks Bill! One more question...maybe a little out of your chosen period, but would 18th century Scots Backsword technique be acceptable?

Keith

Hey Bill!

What simulator will be used as the weapon for the tournament?

Keith

Greetings!

A few years back Chivalry Bookshelf published a reprint in poster form of this plate from Sir William Hope's "New Method" of fencing book:

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I still like to have a hard-copy book. Especially when it is something that I'm likely to refer back to multiple times. I just find it far easier to grab a book off the...

Yeah! That's the Viking hilt I'm talking about! That's Christian Darce's website. What he is showing there is his Viking hilt on a Rawlings Shortsword blade. But I'm thinking that the Messer...

Actually, I have to rescind that last offer. This thread prompted me to pick up this weapon and play with it a bit again. I've decided to rework the blade so that the point is centered and not...

I'll second this! They are heavy and not balanced very well. BTW...I've got one I'd be willing to part with, if anyone in the US is interested.

Keith

I would say "none of the above"! Escrima might be the closest, but still not that close. A KdF group doing mostly Longsword isn't going to be that close either. If they were doing sword & buckler,...

I have my copy now. To my surprise, all of the illustrations are either direct copies of or adaptations of the illustrations from Sir William Hope's "New Method" text of 1707. But I don't think...

Hi Stephen!

If you haven't already, try asking your question here: http://hemaalliance.com/discussion/

That's $180 to the US. That's kind of steep. I'm interested in your book from a Hoplologist's perspective, but that's more than I'm willing to pay for a book that is not my area of training. But...

Hi Victor!

Yes, by all means please put us on the list! :-) One of the requirements for awarding a rank of "Mentor" in any particular weapon within the Cateran Society is to show some capability...

Regretfully, no, not a big deal at all. It was mentioned on the radio though!

Did everyone drink some good Scotch Whiskey and listen to bagpipe music to celebrate? :D

Keith

I've ordered a copy of the original from Jared Kirby. Hopefully the illustrations will be well reproduced.

Keith

Hi Guys!

After a, shall we say, diversion...I've come back to this project. I am actively working on developing 10 lessons in McBane's Smallsword Method. I have the first 7 worked out fairly...

Hey Bill!

It says that the tournaments don't start until 3:30. Are there workshops in the mornings?
