    No kiddin'!! I hadn't thought about it that way! I wear bracers some times. I just needed a strap system that would fit both bare arms, and bracered ones! There is a bit of debate as to weather or not bracers would have been used. I'm in the camp that sees them as practical, so I use them. This is actually at the prompting of a buddy of mine who joined the Royal Marines to get off of his family sheep ranch in Shetland. He told me that bracers, even today, are very practical and useful, so he and I wear them! My Shetland buddy is the Incredible Hulk- so named because he wears a green Highland shirt and Black Watch tartan kilt. Oh, and he's huge!!



    And not to brag... but I made him those bracers.

    Thank you, sir!

    And it occurred to me- people might be interested in seeing what the knife looks like! Here it is:

    Oh I will be making another! I really love the way this one turned out, and I do want to make one with boss and spike. You and Viking will be the ones I talk to in a couple months when that project starts. The next one will be a more utilitarian looking one.
