Yes Charles was hotheaded powermad jerk but he's dead now :P may he RIP or in hell and his hunting knife is a really good example of Blade and Handel, I posted it because it a hunting knife.
The wars of the roses were a longent period(30+yrs) of civil war in Engish History and the off and on conflict was very violent and cruel time.
Campaigns were brief and the disruption to the common man was usually fairly limited as both dynasties hoped to rule an economically prosperous England once the dispute was settled.
The English themselves were not the only participants either. Scottish, French, Burgundian, and Netherlands interests were at times played out, with invasions coming out of, or backed by, some of these countries.
Now Loki is that your Huscarl kit because it wicked cool 8)

I will post a few pics of gear I have finished....only a belt and a wool pack so far....I am halfway done with making mine own Seax....I am seding it out for the heat reat though...but its the first knife I have ever made and its shaping up to be a dandy!
Fortunately, leather, metal and wood love me.....fabic hates me! About all I can do with fabic is make basic items...like sacks or char it for char cloth! LOL!
I should have it all complete by december at the latest....next projects are a new longbow....hunting weight of 60# at my 26" draw and a leather costrel!
When I get my Seax and sheath complete I will post it.....

No rush, I'd just like to see your gear when you have it all together.
Neat on the seax - right now, I'm trying to track down what the ancestor of the Germanic seax was. Any ideas? I'm talking about what the Germanic tribes would have used during the Roman period.
Funny how we have the skills we have. Fabric is easy for me, but leather and bone are horrifyingly difficult. Horn and bone simply hate me, and leather needles love to impale me.

Miles,
What's the backing on this target? I'm due for a new arrow-stopper.
