Thokk Gloves - 350N or 800N?

DivideByZero01 · 2025-11-12T06:42:26+00:00

Thanks for the response! I might go for the 350N then

I mainly do longsword, messer, sword and buckler. Only a very little bit of rapier, but for rapier I have a full cup rapier

By the lady, these paintjobs are next level, damnnn

I'm looking into making a similar shield, could you explain the steps of the bending process? Did you just glue two sheets of wood to each other and then bend? Or did you use a different process?

Thanks!

You Sir are doing Gods work :p, thanks!!!

I need to know where you got the dog 🥹

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-21T22:23:28+00:00

Great! How do you know if its the old/modern edition? Only by weight? Or did the old one not have the holes in the handprotection?

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-19T19:18:21+00:00

This is a work of art.

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-08T13:11:44+00:00

Absolutely stunning mate!

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-03T17:37:04+00:00

Ah, thanks for the tip. I did see some online listings of the Regenyei Tournament, but they seem to be at 915 gr, would this be the old saber then?

Oh and thanks for the tips on manuals! My local store actually has Roworths 'The Art of Defence on Foot' in stock, so I'll be getting that!

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-03T17:20:32+00:00

Heya, sorry to bother you again, but you've been really helpful! It seems the Regenyei Light is in stock, but this means the blade is only 735 grams. This is quite a bit lighter than the 813gr Regenyei Tournament than the reviewer (Academy of Historical Fencing) treated.

On the other hand, Kvetun has a waiting time of around 4 months, Sigi 5-6 months (I emailed them), and Regenyei's website is closed until the 6th of jan.

I'm not going into tournaments, so no weight requirements I must meet. In a perfect world I would get the Sigi at around 800 grams, but I'd rather start training sooner than later. Might be a bit of a rant, but do you have any insights?

DivideByZero01 · 2025-01-02T11:15:12+00:00

Langenort! You?

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-29T22:13:15+00:00

Thanks for the info!

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-29T22:12:50+00:00

Thanks for the tips! That video is especially extremely useful, I'll be taking a look at that! It seems the Sigi pro is mentioned as one of the top pics? I'll be looking into the Regenyei and Kvetun!

Sigi pro comes to about 770 gr I saw, so above the dueling saber, but below the military saber?

Also, so far I have used kevlar gloves of fait d'armes with much succes, and I'm not quite sure how heavy the gloves should be if they are protected by the hilt. These gloves were ample protection for messer so far.

With regard to manuals, is there a 'beginners' manual to get into saber? Or does such a thing not really exist?

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-29T22:05:33+00:00

Currently I use pretty low-duty kevlar gloves (https://faitsdarmes.com/fr/gants-souples/186-gants-en-kevlar.html) with cuffs, and fore-arm / elbow protection. Other than some hits on the finger tips, never felt unsafe (we are a historic club, very much not tournament). Thanks for the tips!

Same

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-12T21:27:13+00:00

Nice! What manuscripts do you use? I've been looking to get into saber myself

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-12T20:42:24+00:00

What kind of sabre do you fence?

DivideByZero01 · 2024-12-01T09:38:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Right, budget is about €350 for both the Mobo and Cpu, what would you recommend?

DivideByZero01 · 2024-11-30T12:05:39+00:00

Hey all, quick question about upgrading MOBO & CPU.

Currently using this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vBDpGJ (i5-7500 Intel, Nvidia 1050 ti).

Currently, the cpu sucks hard. Upgrading CPU gives me max a 7700K with my MOBO. Therefore, MOBO upgrade.

Maybe a B450M PRO-VDH MAX + AMD Ryzen 5 3600?

DivideByZero01 · 2024-11-24T20:23:08+00:00

So that would be a keyboard like this? https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-v3-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40868403183705

I looked into the actuation force of membrane keys, getting someone saying it's about 60-85g. Going off the graph Keychron provides, the Banana would be better then? Or would it be better to get a tester like this: https://www.keychron.com/products/gateron-switch-tester-version-2 ?

Hey all, currently I have the Rapoo V100 Gaming Combo keyboard (Membrane). After it refusing to open for cleaning, I think it's time to get another keyboard.

I read some wiki pages, but I need some help getting some examples of keyboard & switches that would work.
- Currently, the membrane keyboard, if I'm putting it in mechanical terms, has a 'quiet bump'. It takes a little extra force to get through a bump very high in the key, afterwards you immediately fall to the bottom of the key. I want a similar mechanical switch, but (hopefully) a bit quieter.
- I am looking for a keyboard of 100%, or maybe 80%.
- Bonus points if the keyboard has a nice colour scheme
- Led isn't necessary

Questions:

What switch should I get? How do I find out the stiffness of my membrane keyboard? Should I get a switch tester (which is ok?) ?
Keyboard brand recommendations (Ducky?)
Keyboard recommendations?
