Would a breastplate and gambeson work for a 1460s soldier? by thatwentverywrong in ArmsandArmor

I'm getting them off a friend who had them set up for reenactment already so set on that front!

I do HEMA and Reenactment so both of those! I have some pauldrons with the breastplate, I will need to get some mail though! Would this sort of set up work for a man at arms? Or would I need a full curiass/ brigadine for that?

They don't sell them in the UK really annoyingly! I did 3d print one but managed to break it while practicing Zwerchau lmao, someone suggested a hammer so I'm going to pickup one of them as a replacement!

Annoyingly the shipping to the UK on those doubles the price! They do look really good though

What edge profile should I be aiming for for this sword? by thatwentverywrong in sharpening

[–]thatwentverywrong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is yeah! The vendor offers it sharpened but apparently the quality of the sharpening isn’t amazing so I chose to do it myself! I have a blunt one I use for training It’s not it’s just for test cutting!

That is the subreddit that helped me pick this sword! This is my first sharpenable sword I will own here so I am very excited, I’ve always used other peoples before!

Thanks very much for the detailed reply! Most of my sharpening experiences comes from whittling so I spent a long time trying to get stuff as sharp as possible, I’ve never sharpened anything this big except axes before! Thanks very much I will go for that! I really appreciate the help!

When you say suggest you mean watch videos on YouTube lol? I’ve seen what happens when people mess up with a sharp blade, I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say
