All the more curvy women for me, then... #10, please.

OK, with a Knight, Sovereign, & Viceroy, I guess that makes me one of those "dress me up in steel & tell me who to taunt" types. Although... I did spend 20 years where the only things in my collection were a couple of sabres. But, I never did learn to ride a horse, so I guess I'd probably be classed as a n'aer-d-well knight. :wtf: :p

Category 4: The Knights
Often mistaken for wandering ironmongeries the knights can easily be distinguished by all
the sheet metal that they wear. The knights are a idealistic group always searching for dragons
to slay, maidens to rescue and when all else fails windmills to tilt at. The knights greatest
pride is their medieval European swords of all types their greatest fear is powerful magnets.

Whether polling is still open, or not! I qualify as a knight. I have a growing interest in curvy swords however, and have always been interested in curvy women. :D

As it happens you are in luck, I won't be doing the actual tallying until tonight, you can expect the results sometime late tonight.

A Viking - Always looking for a good fight to bring one closer to Odin. When not fighting, will be found drinking mead until plastered. Even then will be ready for a glorious fight. When not drinking or fighting and sometimes during, trying to impress women with tales of conquest, war and pillaging. A Vikings ultimate goal is to die fighting for Odin will a sword in one hand and a mug of mead in the other. Valkries!! I am ready to fight for Odin, mead & women in Valhalla until the end of time!

And the winner is... the Knights!!!! I'm sure that comes as a big surprise. :) The knights won overwhelmingly again this year. There were 20 knights, in second place were the 6 vikings and to my surprise our electic whining bunch came in third this year with 4. It's interesting to me that Western Arms and Armor seem to predominate in this forum where the katana seems to dominate elsewhere... I wonder why that is... Any thoughts?

The winner of the kukri is: Glen A Cleeton! Congratulations Glen, I'll be sending you a p.m. to get your contact information!

Thanks to all of you who participated. Until next year....

Zounds and egads! WOW!

Thanks Russ. Excuse the multiple messages if they go through. I seem to have hit a midday traffic jam. I also sent a direct E-mail.

I maintain my Celtic stance, certainly there were Celtic knights and rapierists. It could even be said that those bent leafs of some cultures were a result of something that started straight.

I'm not sure why the katana is so favored elsewhere. The preference does seem to grow but many appreciate more than one ilk and genre.

Thanks again.
