Interesting article. Personally, I don't do test cutting; not for any great pressing reason, it just doesn't occur to me to arrange it. The Bear.
Thanks. [insert "you must test cut or you're not really learning sword" rant here] Peace favor your sword, Kirk
Hi Kirk... Thanks for the post, I can see the value of test cutting, particularily for public demos - Just back from a corporate event at Glamis Castle which included demonstrating the "effectiveness" of medieval steel helmets against the sword - thankfully it was a lovely Irish style armour class blunt but my ears are still ringing Louie
Always a crowd pleaser. Sounds like fun. Glad you're OK. ...um... more or less OK? ...um... No less OK then you were when you went? Peace favor your sword, Kirk
I absoutely agree Kurt, but it's alittle more complicated here than on the other side of the Atlantic. I don't have a private garden anymore and sharps in public = 5 years in prison. The Bear.
I'm sure you'll figure something out. You have friends, right? [ducking] Peace favor your sword, Kirk
Bear has no friends... just a list of people he hasn't cut down yet. Kinda like Chuck Norris, really. -Mark
