Macedonian Sarissa (18-foot Pike Replica)

Full-length sarissa pike, 18 feet, cornel wood shaft with iron head and bronze butt-spike. Five ranks of sarissas project beyond the front line -- nothing wants to charge into that. Counterweight at the butt for one-handed use when the crush begins.

Kopis Sword & Pelte Shield (Cavalry Set)

Curved kopis blade and small pelte shield. The kopis curves forward -- the weight at the tip means gravity does the work on a downward slash from horseback. This is what the Companions carried after the lance broke. Brutal and efficient.

Iberian Falcata Sword (Reproduction)

Curved Iberian falcata. The forward curve concentrates force at impact -- it cuts through bronze armor like leather. My Iberian cavalry used these at Cannae to devastating effect. Includes scabbard and maintenance kit.

Numidian Cavalry Javelin Set (5 Light Javelins)

Five light throwing javelins in the Numidian style. My riders under Maharbal would harass Roman columns for days -- throwing, retreating, throwing again. No armor, no shield, just speed and accuracy.

Roman Legionary Kit (Lorica + Gladius + Pilum)

Complete legionary equipment: segmented plate armor, short gladius, two pila javelins, curved scutum shield. 60 pounds of gear. My men marched with this plus rations and camp stakes. They called themselves Marius' Mules.

Apache Bow & War Club Set

Short mulberry bow and stone-headed war club. The Apache bow is compact -- made for horseback and tight canyon fights. The war club is last resort, close quarters. Light enough to carry all day, deadly enough to end any argument.

Centurion's Vine Staff (Vitis) & Pugio Dagger

The vine staff was the centurion's badge of office and disciplinary tool. The pugio was the last-resort dagger. Cassius used one on me. Authentic reproductions for historical reenactment and display.

Plate Armor Fitting & Movement Training

15th century plate armor training. Move, fight, mount a horse, get up from the ground in 50 pounds of steel. Tip: Armor does not make you slow. Bad armor makes you slow. Good armor moves with you.

French Arming Sword (15th Century Replica)

Single-handed arming sword, cruciform hilt, 32-inch blade. Standard Hundred Years War knight's weapon. I rarely drew mine -- my banner was my weapon. But I trained daily. Balanced for one-handed use with shield or on horseback.

Scottish Claymore (Two-Handed Greatsword)

66-inch two-handed claymore, the weapon of the Scottish Highlands. Designed for sweeping cuts that clear a path through armored men. My own claymore was reportedly taller than most men. The reach advantage against sword-and-shield is decisive if you have the strength.

Scottish Targe Shield & Dirk Set

Round targe shield (20 inches, studded leather over wood) and 12-inch dirk dagger. The Highlander's backup weapons. The targe catches the blade, the dirk finishes the work. I will teach you the off-hand techniques that made Highland warriors feared in close quarters.

Bokken Set (Oak Practice Swords, Pair)

Two red oak bokken -- standard katana length. These are the training weapons I used before every Kurosawa film. They teach you distance, timing, and respect for the blade. Tip: If you're gripping too tight, you're already losing.
