It's beginning to look like the only survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse are going to be Rick's group and one five year old kid from Canada.
Here's my ring cutting rig and the armour, just before I start final assembly.

Thanks
 Now I've got to build my variable wire gauge and coil diameter cutting rig, so that I can get to work on my own stuff. It will have to be variable speed, too, if AMJ ever has a hope of getting a stainless steel oyster shucking glove.

I did a little reading about these guys and they started out by making their own swords, domestically, for themselves. They then grew into a business and ended up sourcing offshore manufacturing, to turn out the swords, and started selling swords by major manufacturers like CAS Hanwei. The LARP stuff came way later and is all 3rd party. If they can make money on it, good for them.

Well I received my Christmas presents to myself, yesterday, from Strongblade. Unfortunately it looks like the scabbard of one was damaged in shipping, so they're going to send me a new scabbard. I got the two, below. One zombie eye poker and one zombie decapitator.
I'm also trying other chain weaves now, to build the skill. Unfortunately I burnt out my first blade by being lazy about lubricating it, so on to the second. Cutting will be much more reliable once I build my adjustable ring size cutting rig.
