Creation

There are 2 types of lamellar armors: the wooden and the metal lamellar armor. They have vastly different durability and protection.

Wooden lamellar armor

The wooden variant requires different amounts of firewood , pelts and resin per armor piece. For a full set of wooden lamellar armor, you would need 1x Pelt (Medium), 2x Pelt (Large), 3x Resin and 29x Firewood.

Note: Those are the recipes that require the fewest pelts and the smallest pelts needed. However, there are alternate recipes for these pieces of armor using smaller but more pelts, or the same amount but with larger pelts. Consult your ingame handbook for those recipes with H.

Repairing

Any piece of armor in this armor set can be repaired using the following recipe in the crafting grid. You may need to multiply the amounts of ingredients to get a full repair if the armor is badly damaged. If the durability drops to zero, the armor does not disappear, but it is as if you were not wearing it.

Metal lamellar armor

The metallic lamellae are made from either copper or any form of bronze metal by smelting nuggets in a crucible and pouring the liquid metal into a lamellae mold . For a full set of metal lamellar armor, one would need at least 1x Pelt (Small), 2x Pelt (Large) and 19x Lamellae.

Note: Those are the recipes that require the fewest pelts and the smallest pelts needed. However, there are alternate recipes for these pieces of armor using smaller but more pelts, or the same amount but with larger pelts. Consult your ingame handbook for those recipes with H.

Characteristics

Different types of armors offer different protection values and durability. Additionally, they may hinder your movements speed and add to your hunger rate.

Having the least penalties for walking speed, healing effectiveness, ranged weapon accuracy and ranged weapon charge time makes the lamellae armor suitable for surface or underground exploration.

Overview

Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade.

The Sharpening Process

The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. If you have a different preference, feel free to make that request in the special instructions at check out. We can sharpen only the last half or third of an edge, for example. Our sword sharpening expert has personally sharpened several thousand swords at this point, so will provide you with a professional service.

What the Service is Not

The resulting edge will be “sword sharp” not razor sharp. Our goal is to provide you with a usable edge for cutting practice that will hold up to some use and not require constant re-sharpening. In other words, we intend to provide you with a serviceable weapon, not a personal grooming implement. The service will not provide a completely bevel-less edge. To create that type of edge will necessarily scratch up the blade surface and we lack the machinery and time to provide a full re-polishing of a blade’s surface. A service of that nature would be significantly more expensive as a great deal more time would be required. We do not offer this type of service at this time.

Disclaimer

We make no guarantee that the resulting edge will meet with your expectations. Every blade is different and some will take and hold a sharper edge than others, due to the blade material, heat treatment or geometry. Some customers can also have incorrect assumptions about sword sharpness and improper expectations as a result. All we can say for sure is that the resulting edge will be sharper than the default edge, in most cases, significantly so. We can not provide any refunds for the service once it has been completed, so consider it to be provided “as is”. That being said, if you are unhappy with the product for any reason, we do still allow you to return the item for a full refund, including the sharpening costs under our normal return policy. This does not apply to special sharpening requests, for example if we sharpen something specially for you that does not normally list that option on our site. The vast majority of our customers are happy with the results of the service, so as long as you keep the above mentioned in mind, we are confident you will be pleased with the results as well.

Swords marked as “Battle Ready” are made to a higher standard than your average display weapons. The blades are usually made of carbon steel, as opposed to the more brittle stainless steel and feature longer and stronger tangs.

“Battle Ready” does not necessarily mean the blade is sharpened, this depends on the manufacturer. Some sell them sharp like Cold Steel, some dull like Windlass Steel Crafts, and some do both like Hanwei. So if you need to know if it is sharp or not and it is not mentioned in the description, just ask.

In general “Battle Ready” swords are functional weapons that will live up to actual combat usage. They are closest to historic examples in the fact that when properly sharpened they can cut as designed. However, “Battle Ready” does not mean indestructible. Any sword can be broken. Use common sense with your sword, and it will last for generations. A sword being listed as “Battle Ready” does not constitute a guarantee that it will withstand any abuse you can throw at it. “Battle Ready” swords are not designed for blade to blade type combat, you will want to select “Stage Combat” swords for this activity.

P.O.B. stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. A POB of 3”- 5” usually results in a well balanced sword, but does depend on the type of sword. In general, a low POB results in good point control well suited to a thrusting blade, while a higher POB adds impact to a cleaving blade. A very high POB will result in a sword that feels heavier than it actually is and is difficult to wield.

Please note: Due to the hand made nature of these items, all specs should be considered as approximates. This info is provided to give you a good idea of the product being presented, the one you receive may vary from the specific one we took measurements of.
