I have a various assortment of knives, swords, daggers, and axes at my(parent's) house.

Great pictures. Those SWKs fit you very well. For the price SWKs are hard to beat. Nice looking home also, looks very comfy.

I've got swords hanging around too
nice looking kilts,
the collarless shirt works well with your kilt
I also like the "main gauche" on the wall below the rapier

You mean there are people who own kilts who don't have swords on the walls!

Not much for using them as decoration, but I''ve a sword, and long-knives galore!

Hey Panache, how do you feel about that Shadow heavy-weight with the summer heat? I've been thinking about getting the Saffron Shadow-HW, and I assume the weight will be comparable.

Great looking pics. And based on the background, you've got some wee ones running around.

Iolaus, if the Saffron HW is like the shadow, it will probably be OK. I wore my HW Shadow until November or so, then started wearing warmer ones. I would think it would be fine until the temps were 90+ with humidity, at which point only and AK or similar lightweight kilt would be cool. DISCLAIMER: I don't have a real wool kilt in any weight, so I don't know how warm it would be in the summer.

Joe Gondek:

Good Eyes Sir! My wife bought my main gauche for my noble's costume for Renaissance Faire. It features a button that releases two slim spring loaded smaller sections of the blade to jut away from the dagger at a 30 degree angle at each side of the blade. They act as blade "traps" to catch an opponents sword blade while executing a "bind". Apparently it is modeled after a real Elizabethan period weapon. My wife bought it for me. She thought that the idea was one would stick the blade into an enemy and then press the button and slice them them open. My wife... beautiul woman, good friend, wonderful mother, caring and intelligent veterinarian, and apparently a somewhat bloodthirsty amazon at heart it would seem.

Iolaus:

I do not think that come July I will be wearing my Heavyweight Black "Shadow Tartan" Stillwater. My UK Mocker, absolutely. My Celtic Croft Economy, absolutely. My Stillwater Standard Hunting McCleod...maybe (if there is a breeze?). My Heavyweight? I think not. I'm just not into trying out sponaneous human combustion first hand.

Cheers
