Sorry, :/ www.thetimeseller.com/list/217/4 ... orical.htm I have some armor from them but not any blades. Kult of athena also carries their probucts along with many other distributers.

Thanks for the link man I like the design of their daggers and knives, but unfortunately, I never handled any of them. If anyone has any feedback on these blades, I too would like to hear it.

I understand they're based in Spain. Not sure where they get their pieces; they may be reselling stuff from local artisans or people around Europe... I am interested in their gauntlets, though!

Their armor is great, wears and moves well, and it is a dulled zink finnish that prevents rust. In my profile picture to can see their Arms and Shoulders for Gothic armor. They have been rained on at least three times and are fine and show no sing of rust.
Would definatly recomend them, which gauntlets? Kult of athena carries some of their gauntlets.

Just had a look through the website, concentrating on the arms and knives sections. Looks like they have some unique pieces such as the Cinquedea, unfortunately it looks to be a pretty heavy sword. www.thetimeseller.com/product/46 ... 0-1520.htm Most of their stuff looks like it is geared towards reenactment but some of the knifes look OK. I think that arma bohemia has better stuff, although I am yet to buy anything from them. www.armabohemia.cz/Novestr/handA.htm

Good to hear that. As for gauntlets, I'm looking at their German gauntlets specifically (not a big fan of the Italian style they have right now)... those got a decent review from Christian Tobler, basically that they're fine except that they need a little modification for longsword use. So I figure they're probably a decent buy. That said, I don't have the money right now so it's just wishful thinking right now If you really want a nice dagger, I'd probably go with Arma Bohemia over Marshal though... their stuff seems, in general, to be slightly better quality.
