Wow—that looks really good! Love the greaves. Those look awesome too. Thanks for posting updates! Do you have any photos or video of you with the falcata? I’m curious to see how you suspended the scabbard assembly.

Found this one.

Thanks much. Does it bounce or shift excessively when riding? Is it easy to draw?

No it is fine. It sits up high under the arm. Very easy to draw.

Even with a fair bit of reshaping and grinding down this kopis/falcata is still a heavyish blade. I am having a more period kopis made that is much longer and more slender.

You can see how high I wear it in this photo.

Lost all the original photos in this post. Doesn't matter, done a bit of an update to my kit since then.

Made some new Scythian clothing. Based the pants on these 3000 year old pants.

And made a coat as well. Very bloody comfortable!

Geez, really love those trousers!! And you've got me listed in your will for those greaves, right? :p :lol:

Hmmm, turns out there is a long line of people waiting for me to die so they can ,,,,,, inherit, my greaves :D

I’m sure you’ve seen both the comb and the reconstructed armor, but I’d be curious to hear thoughts on and to see someone ride with the back-shield thing.
