    Hey guys it's been some time since I posted up in here. 2020 obviously hasnt been a very good year for the sport of HEMA but I was able to get to one tournament the other week. I competed in the SOHFA KINGS CUP in the Longsword and the sword alone (sabre) events. It wasnt a very big turn out with only 12 competitors in each event. I came 5th in the sabre event which is good considering I've only spared 3 times with a sabre before entering it. I took 1st in the longsword. I fought 22 times over the weekend and had a great time.

    Its actually a Superior Fencing Officers Jacket 800N. Its fantastic, I've had it for over a year and no signs of wear and tear. Good protection and way cheaper than the spes stuff. It's all custom measured for me and it didnt cost anything extra.

    This week I had a sabre come in the mail. I ordered a VB gymnasium sabre from purpleheart armoury. I didnt care for the Kvetun standard sabre and I didnt want to pay the premium price for the Easton. I have a buddy in Buffalo that had a VB and he highly recommended it. Now that I have mine I can see why.

    Funny,I didn't even stop to think about mentioning it. I just recently got an Easton Mark III from Kvetun(what an ordeal that was) and I really like the feel of it albeit has never tasted sparring yet. I got the straight blade version to mimic a basket hilt feel to it .I'm all about the basket hilt now.

    I actually used a friends Easton in the event. It's a awesome sword and I loved the way it feels, just didnt like the price tag that comes along with it.
