Not all Greek soldiers wore armor, so your tunic will last you a while.

I bought the Falcata like the one shown above from Kult of Athena and paid them to sharpen it. Then I made my own scabbard from wood and leather. As far as shoes. I think there are several options out there, but I commissioned a pair from "Armlann" based on the closed heel, open toed pair I saw in one of the Greek footwear threads on here that seemed accepted by most. I will see if I can find the thread. You could always go armorless for now or try to make a linothorax. I have decided I am going to make my own muscled cuirass, but am still building up the motivation and confidence to do it.

Here is the thread.

Armlann should have my pair within a few weeks based on the shoes on page 7 of the thread. If you like that design, you could always ask him about the pair I am having him hand stitch for me. I would also gladly post pics once I receive them if your interested to see how the quality turns out.
