Thanks for the review guys. This is Gary- I run Manticore Forge. Ill make sure that there biggest voices will fit in the next iteration. I thought we designed the ginunting guards large enough for clam shells- the next ones will be for sure.
Stay tuned for the sansibar and the kampilan!
For the ginuntings you probably want to use the Gabriels, Thokks or High Guard gloves
Vulpins make excellent HDPE trainers of every type you can imagine
Yes they do, but it isn't steel and can't replicate the look, sound, and feel.
The high guards go for about 150, and you can probably get the supfen knockoffs of the black nights for 180
I hate to suggest anything I haven't tried.
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup That's fair. The xiphoshuras are in my opinion, the most protective glove on the market. I legit feel nothing with tournament-intensity longsword strikes when I've worn one
What's the type of steel? And temper?
What the advantages VS aluminium?
No idea on the type of steel. Whatever it is it is pretty hard to resist deformation and this maker has been using it on HEMA swords for years now so whatever it is it has held up well over time. The advantage over aluminum is that hardness, I stopped using aluminum years ago in favor of polymer because of the dangers of burring from impacts and that you had to check and file your blades after every bout. The other usual advantage is that steel is better at flexing than aluminum and returning back to true, these short blades don't have great flex so we don't see that advantage in this case.
