DarkHeart Armoury

[Otagiri Tatsuzou]

From his website ... www.darkheartarmoury.com/

Count Morgan d'Antioche, KSCA, OL etc - Proprietor

DK Wickstrom - Chief Thingmaker

The goal of the DarkHeart Armoury is to provide Armour that is strong, safe, functional and as much as possible resembles that worn and fought in 500 or so years ago.

I don't sell armor "off-the-shelf", build twenty identical helmets at a time, or keep anything in stock. Every piece is made to order, to your specifications.

If you want to discuss a commission, drop me an email at [e-mail]

I'm currently accepting one order at a time, and maintaining a waiting list of interested parties.

I bought a pair of Kote and Suneate form this Gentleman many years ago and I still fight in them today. Though I have repainted them a few times.

I have recently talked to him about making a pair of "stealth samurai gauntlets" using his "stealth" Wisby Gauntlet as a base, as the last time a dealt with him he was most accommodating and helpful with the idea. I haven't purchased them yet, with Pennisic coming I'm a bit stretched.

At any rate though his queue is quite long his work is excellent and I'm sure it has only gotten better.

I still don't care for the lines on his zunari. The lines on the dou pictured are quite good. That said, I've never seen any of his work that did not have excellent workmanship nor have I ever heard any complaints from his customers.

As an unbiased individual I'd place his work in the top 4 for Japanese.

Friends,

Count Sir Morgan does excellent work (Full Disclosure: he is in my Barony). I had him make me a gorget (I fence) and the fit, workmanship, and above all the level of protection are all excellent. I had a minor tweak necessary which he promptly did. Overall I am very pleased and would highly recommend him. I have commissioned him to make me another couple of pieces of armor when he can find the time.
