Mark, as incredible as those pieces are, I think jumping headlong onto daggers, maces, etc. would be quite painful... Great work though, Tod! I think you may well consistently make the best daggers I've ever seen.

Exquisite pain. Exquisite. I think among my favorites are the kitchen knives, for some reason. I'll bet one of those babies would make reeeeally short work of a ham or a big roast beef....and look awesome doing it!............McM

If you like those, go to Tod's FB page and check out the 15th century styled set he did for me (I thought he had them in a topic here, but couldn't find it...). Four blades with a canvas and leather tool roll. All of the blades are awesome, but the cleaver is maybe my favorite bladed implement ever! And, yes, they all get through whatever I'm preparing very well. :)

Checked baggage and not carry on ....... ;) :p :lol:

Thanks for the banter guys.
The UK has the reputation of being very strict with weapons of all sorts, but in many cases it really is a matter of context and common sense.
A few months ago I was leaving the UK in my van going to France and the border agency guy (Police) asked what was in the van and I explained that it was "re-enactment goods" at which point he asked it there were any "bladed weapons". Of course my heart sank as it does in the face of any questioning authority, but thought I better be honest so I replied "hundreds". He turned around to another guy working there and said "this guy is carrying hundreds of bladed weapons". His colleagues' reply was delivered in a thick Cockney London accent "Rock on Son!" and off I went.

Good to see you yesterday Tod! And of course good to buy something. Obviously I already have nearly one of everything by way of knives, daggers, maces, crossbows etc but its good to now that should i be set upon by brigands, footpads and cut purses I can now grind some pepper at them....

Doh! Now I see. How did I miss that?
Off to Compiegne history market tomorrow with Ash from ASH armour for a weekend of hopefully selling and definitely salami and beer. https://www.facebook.com/fdhcompiegne/?hc_location=ufi
Hopefully I will see some of you there.

That Landsknecht dagger that is based on a
Wallace Collection example would come to my home if I had the funds available. And since we're talking fantasy world, I want at least a half dozen others pretty damn bad, too.
