Re: Polypro is now SCA legal

That is my "cutting spear". According to the SCA rules of the list it is a two handed weapon (being used in one hand). As such, as long as it does not exceed 7.5', it may have a cutting head and buttspike. It is fiberglass spears that may not have a cutting surface or buttspike. yup technically a p...
