Greetings all,
Wolff here from the UK. Just joined and making the customary newbies' Intro post, but since you probably get a load of these already I'll keep it as short as I can
I have several areas of interest in the forum, mainly from my own hobbies: WW2 Living History, historical martial arts, reading, movies and (a few) computer games.
I'm sure you'll hate to hear that I found this website through the myriad references to the Assassin's Creed blade, but glad to know that it's not my main reason for staying here and jumping in, heh heh!
I have a real heart for mechanical engineering (shame my brain can't keep up, though) and am fascinated with mechanical devices, mechanisms and so forth. Weaponry especially - I spent some time working in an active service RAF armoury and was in hog heaven!
Also interested in some of the OSS/SOE style clandestine weaponry of WW2 (my wife re-enacts Resistance and various agents herself, so she's quite curious, too).
So yeah, plenty of stuff for me to be getting on with. Guess I'll start with that Glossary, eh!
Hope to chat with y'all soon! H. Wolff.

OK, finished bopping my head around at my PC and returning to serious weapon-geeking, now. Thanks for that!
Actually, that vid reminds me of some friends who've just gone over to D*Con, although my lot are a bit more unhinged!
Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist..
There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit.
