Don Ian of Tadcaster, Lord Raven

Vaguely amusing quiz.

Tongue-in-cheek website full of
fencing humor and images.

Santelli is no longer a going concern, but AFS has many of the same items at similar prices

Beautiful swords, daggers, and sidesword stuff.

Also beautiful work, very nice. Swords, daggers, and the like
Created Ian's tad-dagger.

Primarily 15th, 16th & 17th clothing and gear - rapier hilts out of stock
Nice stuff, but a long backlog

His custom hilts take my breath away.
Also "off-the-rack" items, reasonable prices.

Custom rapier hilts - handmade and aimed at practical more than glittering beauty - very reasonable prices.

Triplette's SCA-centric offerings; often expensive and cheesy, but the only source yet for Spectra undergarments

Later period fencing-legal cothing.
Make sure to note what items need shirts underneath, tho.

A good place to look up that gentle who you fought at That Event in That Barony but didn't get their name but they were really cool and you want to look them up so you know who they are and WOW there's a lot of fencers out there! I like pie.

A different compendium, this one's a nice interactive map of rapier around the world.
Seems to be down temporarily for repairs.

A humorous look at the world of scientific testing, assuming that real scientific testing involves a lot of scotch, my cadet sister,
and a droptester.

Um, Lou Ferigno. Why?
Well, he sorta came up in conversation.

Lord, no...please, let us be out of Vermont...
Somehow, this site fails to encapsulate the horror we felt in being in that state. :)
