Tom Clews (He/Him)

Deal, only gotta find me and ask :)

That innuendo would be far too easy, but yes is the answer. Should it arrive before Bristol/Brighton, I have no issue.

100% legal, I'd never do it if I couldn't. How do you think people bring blunt practice blades, feders etc to Hema classes? Fear not.

Ain't it just, she's going to need a name. But I'll work on that.

If it arrives in time, just that one. Same goes for Brighton. It's blunt, can be safely transported and easily looked after.

The image has a light grey background, at the centre of the image is a longsword. It has a handle long enough for two hands to grip, the pommel (counterweight of sorts on the end of the grip) is pear shaped, the grip itself is a royal blue (the grip is waisted in simplest explanation it bulges around the mid point, to let you index and feel the grip and hold it easily) the blade is 101cm long and has a re-enforced rounded tip to make it safe for Hema with adequate protection. The makers mark unless I'm mistaken is on the Ricasso. The metal on the longsword shines nicely in the image and I'm sure if will be polished or at least have a nice shine. The crossguard is straight across and unadorned, plain steel functional and pretty. The blade has a Ricasso in this case a flat piece before the diamond blade shape begins. For me personally this will let me place my thumb against it easily for better control in certain plays or master strikes. A Todesca longsword by Malleus Martialis, a company of arms and armour makers from Florence, Italy. Mine is as pictured, royal cord, 101cm blade with a ricasso, standard finish, pear shaped pommel, straight crossguard, diamond blade. Tech specs below. I went for config 1, royal cord, 101cm with ricasso. Config.1 | Pear pommel, straight cross, diamond blade Config.2 | Disc pommel, straight cross, diamond blade Period: 15th century Blade Typology: Type XVIIIb [Oakeshott], diamond cross section / with ricasso Overall Length: 130 – 135 cm Blade Length: 95 cm, 101 cm Max Blade Width: 3,5 cm Cross Width: 25 cm Grip Length: 25 cm pommel not included PoB: 7,5 cm from the cross Edge Thickness: 2 mm Weight: 1550 gr. (±50 gr.) Tip: Thickened Hardening: 50 HRC Flexibility: 12-13 kg | Medium Flex

Oh and since this may prompt some interaction with some lovely people #Swordcialists #Hema my Todesca from Malleus Martialis has finished manufacturing and I should have that by the 30th without issue.

That time will fix me as it always does, that said anyone who wants to chat should message me. ADHD is an odd thing in that things and frankly people that are out of sight I forget about, my heart and head never does. Rest assured you're all well loved and very dear to me.

Just to make it clear I'm alive and here, and well. I've just been busy and honestly approaching burnout at times, with work and life. Understand I'm sincerely fine, I've got ten days off soon, a little over that I plan to spend very productively and also in great company.

Ha, glorious. How are you science mom? I miss you 🖤

I really do love overnight oats, but all the chewing makes me feel like a donkey. Arguably one who has eaten and doesn't become full of rage before lunch, which is nice. As I'm not above kicking someone and laughing about it when I'm hungry, either.

Been slacking on the Thursday and Saturday posts lately, life's been manic. But I'll pick it up again Sat onwards.

I both love and hate waking up so early, it's quiet and peaceful, but I also don't have much to do.

My brother's rottweiler Mina sitting on my legs.

I have become a chair 😂

An image of myself from the waist down with my brother's Rottweiler Mina laying with her head rested atop my ankles, my legs crossed beneath her. Sons of anarchy is the show on the television.

It's alright Mina, wasn't planning on going anywhere anyway.

I’m looking for swordy folks who are attending World Fantasy in Brighton, UK. Please drop a message if you are interested in sparring (off site)
