JonSchwertFechter: Bernhard-Hi, I commisioned and had a custom Polearm (justTheHead) made then delivered- as He(Scott) rarely did complete ones-A while back- This was in about 2022.Not sure if you consider that 'too Recent' but he and Darkwood were Def. Activeat that Time:) Oct 4, 2026 10:38:59 GMT
Bernhard H.: I've been away from the scene for quite a while -- is Scott Wilson still active at Darkwood Armory? (Not that I am in a position presently to commission anything...) Oct 4, 2026 1:16:57 GMT
JonSchwertFechter: eastman: thanks for the info., however direct communication with MRL/ACC was what Im aiming at.- some Project proposals/Inquiries I AM trying to discuss with them- it seems something is amiss as they have not updated any of their usual SM posts in months. Oct 1, 2026 6:55:14 GMT
eastman: placed a ACC order on Sunday night and have shipping confirmation and tracking info today. Didn't try to contact them but orders are going out normally. Shipping wasn't even that bad. Sept 29, 2026 3:30:20 GMT
JonSchwertFechter: Has anyone had any Direct contact with MRL/ACC lately They haven't responded to MY FB or Instagram contacts- and haven't updated in maybe 3 months or more... anyone know what's going on?? Sept 21, 2026 13:55:49 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: It's not massive, the blade design is very simple, thin, no fullers or changes in cross section. Sept 18, 2026 5:13:56 GMT

vlad4th: Does anyone own a Cold Steel Hungarian saber and if so how is the tang on it? Sept 18, 2026 3:51:03 GMT
mrstabby: Thats a long, long term issue, many gun oils like Ballistol are made to be neutral for leather actually, but personally I'd just wipe it down with some leather conditioner once in a while. If you want to be super sure use a leather cleaner before. Sept 16, 2026 17:29:46 GMT
dyingbythesword: Does anyone else worry about getting gun oil residue on the leather when they oil their sword? On some spots its difficult to avoid (near the pommels, especially with wheel pommels), and from what I understand petroleum based oil can degrade leather. Sept 16, 2026 2:45:22 GMT
