Chevalier

My Uber driver told me he makes swords for people who fight in Central Park. I made my way uptown the very next day—for research.

Armored combat has competitors battling in both category duels and group fights. There’s a strategy behind choosing the right weapons, as there are no clear guidelines for some duels, and weapons “can make or break you in the field,” according to Jesse, a knight I had the chance to interview.

His sword was beautiful, but heavy asf.

Tiffany was squiring for her boyfriend, who spent $700 on his helmet—a bargain, she said. Some helmets can go up to $2,000.

I’d give anything for the Balenciaga Chevalier boots. They’re going for $100,000 now.
