]]> I posted this on Facebook yesterday but I wanted to mention it here too. As I said in my blog post on Tuesday, I need a new metal buckler for cut and thrust. I’m in the middle of shopping around and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. I’ve noticed that several of the armors making bucklers for rapier are using 20 gauge steel but I’d really prefer something in the 18-16 gauge range. So what do you use? Are you happy with it? What would you change about it?
