HEMA questions

>>846153
Where are you from (roughly) and what is your price range?

Everyone wants to say Albion but the pricing is pretty prohibitive.

>>846154
yurop
300-450 USD
ofc less would work too
if it is something like a good looking gladius

>>846160
You describe her as being into HEMA more than anything so do you think she wants a HEMA related sharp that mine tie in with her training like a longsword, arming sword if she likes sword and buckler, messer?

So you know what she does in particular?

>>846165
yeah she practices a lot mainly with a longsword but collects/uses them for cutting tests too
so anything would work I think
but she has a passion for rome, local history (saxons and norse swords) and bastard swords

>>846165
sorry pressed submit too fast
in particular it would come down to :
2h sword sparring
cutting tests
collecting (roman,saxon,nordic 1h swords and medieval 1,5-2h swords)

If the Tag says battle ready, they are regulation blunted and can be sharpened at your local blacksmith

>>846176
thanks a lot, any manufacturers I should prefer over others ?

>>846190
Hanwei is cheapest shit, Del Tin is midramge, don't worry about Albion, unless you are Oprah rich

>>846192
thanks found a bunch that seem interesting mainly from deepeeka windlass and coldsteel

>>846194
Whatever you can afford man

>>846190
Cheaper and better would be to order from eastern european smiths, they make great quality in your price range, but they usually need a couple months to process orders.

>>846176

Do they deliver to Europe? Because I don't think so.

>>846198
They delivered to New Zealand

>>846196
alrighty
>>846197

>>846198

P.S. Swords are really personal, not just the aesthetics, a good sword just fits you, size, balance, weight, you like the feel of it. So double check before you order.

As a rule of thumb, a double handed European weapon should be lengthwise somewhere between the belly button height and the nipples of the owner, most like closer to nipple height.
A single handed sword should be short enough so you can swing at your side and do not hit the ground when standing upright.

>>846220
Completely out of your price range tier:

>>846223
I don't think in this case that matters at all. If it was a tournament feder then it's worth humoring but for a sharp that might never ever seen any cutting practice it really couldn't matter less.

>>846192
Del Tin sucks. Nice to see, but you can't do shit with it.

>>847757

We had that debate dear closet faggots. You stay cool watching your man opera and don't bother the guys who actually get their arse up from the couch for their sport.
Now go find some Diva thread.

Playing with toy swords isnt a sport and it isnt wrestling, it doesnt matter what you debated

Take this shit off of /asp/ and over to /k/ where it belongs

Stick watching to your life-sized action figures act out "wrestling", faggot.

Weapons for sport, not weapons for the sake of weapons.

/k/ is
>I got a gun
>I got a big gun
>I got a small gun
>my gun is better than yours
>no mine is better than yours
>I shoot my gun

>>847797
this!

>>846256
>>846223
I think it does, a sword for cutting is like a golf club or a fishing rod, it should suit you, and a smaller women might like a different model. Maybe she's a lefty and a complex hilt would be the wrong gift.

>>847797
Virgin lord of the rings reenactment isnt a sport no matter how many metal fedoras you wear while playing it, and toy swords are not sports equipment

For some reason I don't quite the finals. Sure it is on a high level, but somewhow the styles of Anders and Ties don't match well, at least aesthetically.

really nice action in the eliminations tough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vfRmv09cqI

Not sure if it's 100% related, but does anyone have a pdf of Street Sword? I wanna see if it's as bad as they say it is.

What would be a good shield to go with this /asp/?
Sadly the right handed one had ran out so i had to get the left handed version, should i change my stance?

Also what is the best shaped sword that will help me attract a girlfriend?

>>847847
I saw one once on Bullshido, but that was a couple years ago. Phil is not exactly that popular.

>>847842
I know you feel intimidated by real martial artists competing, but you don't need to lash out like this kid.

>>847842
Is that you in the pic? Did you try to join a HEMA club and get laughed out the door?
