NK - knee

[Xenos Makellares]

Polite answer is hell no.  A bucket plastic WILL NOT withstand repeated
blows with a rattan sword, a pickle barrel yes.
Only as a floating knee design that would work for WARS ONLY since you don't
take many blows to the legs during a war. Tourney use, no way. The only way
that a heavy leather would work for knees is with a pattern that I have.
However, due to the heat here in the summer I would not recommend it.

You are young, protect your joints with steel. Don't be foolish like some of
us were prior to getting injured.

and as a chirurgeon I can say this, don't make me do any paperwork, you
ain't going to like me if I do.

| i just looked at the fighter handbook (surprize) and
| it said "rigid material with 1/4" foam" so could i use
| 5 gallon bucket plastic and heavy leather for the
| knees?
| Answers would rock.
