[QUOTE=G-Strogg;50382460]Do you know what materials it's made out of? Ballistic nylon?[/QUOTE] I assume something like that judging by the look and feel. Here's a photo of it with better lighting I hastily took the first time I got my hands on it. [t]http://i.imgur.com/taolYEa.jpg[/t] When I ordered it I was expecting a regular padded gambison since that was the thing he made before that I had been using, six months later and it ended up being completely different from what I expected.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;50585243]they're all pretty good, but I do meyer dussack. zornhut is cool.[/QUOTE] Can you be more specific as to what guards they include? Currently, we dont have any manuals regarding Dussacks.

My group got to do a fighting demo out at a medieval wedding. It went from fighting, to drinking, to armored Mongolian wrestling.

I'm digging this thread out of its grave because my club's Regenyei order is finally ready to ship, and I should finally receive my sword in a week or so, pictured here as the green one. I need somewhere to direct my excitement. [t]http://i.imgur.com/8DZKqgT.jpg[/t] [editline]21st October 2016[/editline] "it'll ship by august at the latest", they said.
to keep it up, I'm getting my one-hander from landsknecht emporium in hopefully just a week. [img]https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/14699667_674293556065890_486742834_o.jpg?oh=49eda442b3d47f9be79cb4fc97f7acdc&oe=5810358D[/img] the green is mine, the red is my girlfriends.

Ah shit, that's amazing! How does it handle?
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;51258080]Ah shit, that's amazing! How does it handle?[/QUOTE] I'm not an expert, but from my knowledge it seems to handle alright. Doesn't feel 'off' in any way at least.
Well, don't have to be an expert, if you like it you like it. Only thing that can teach you more is handling more messers :P one day you might find one you like more.
Swordfish soon guys! Maybe I'll have some media for you.

Which club do you go to, Reds?
[QUOTE=Em See;51312169]Which club do you go to, Reds?[/QUOTE] Adelaide Sword Academy.
[QUOTE=Reds;51312248]Adelaide Sword Academy.[/QUOTE] Neato, House Darksun (Perth) here. Just hosted War in the West last weekend. I think Mark Holgate was the only ASA guy over, though he certainly did well.
I recieved my one-handers!
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;51353391]I recieved my one-handers![/QUOTE] Show us some pictures, then! How was Swordfish this year? I must admit I'm a bit salty about not being able to go there myself.
