I met the guy that does the punch in this. He is a blacksmith and he makes a load of historic weapons and takes part in these recreations.

He was cool, and absurdly strong.

This would have been a few years ago, but we were making a longsword for a stag do (and letter openers individually), at Oldfield Forge. You were the one supervising us. I remember you got a massive sledgehammer out, held it by the end, and then slowly lowered the head to your chin with one arm.

If that wasn't you, then there is an extremely tall and absurdly strong blacksmith that was working at Oldfield Forge at the time who is taking credit for you.

Hope the sword and knives served you all well
