Re: Shaved Rattan Sale!
I wish I did. The quality on the last batch was not what I wanted. Half of it I downgraded into the regular rattan pile. The importer is working with his people overseas to address this.

Re: Shaved Rattan Sale!
Is this legal for youth combat? What age range is using rattan cores at this point? These sticks are over 1", but less than 1.25". This would too thick for single-handed youth weapons. It is legal for 2-handed weapons. My understanding is Div II & III use rattan cored foam weapons. (Do I need to re...

I think its Munition Grade Arms that sells a 'solid' kit (its a 'solid' piece of compressible black foam.) I think they are the way to go now.

Re: Shaved Rattan Sale!
By and large, ordering more reduces the 'per stick' cost of shipping. To New York isn't too bad, though. Shipping out to or past the Rockies is worse.

I have a bunch of 1.25" shaved rattan that is actually *just* under that 1.25". Too much of it really. So, what does a merchant do when he has too much of something? He puts it on sale, of course!

Re: 2" Mandrake tips suck and you all know it
'Knowing what an iffy one feels like' isn't a good, foolproof way to inspect a weapon. How do I know that the inspecting marshal knows what an iffy spear tip feels like?

Re: 2" Mandrake tips suck and you all know it
My pure speculation here: The conditions are described as wet. Wet rubber is a whole lot slicker than dry. I'm guessing that slickness, plus the normal amount of deformation, allowed the end of the rubber tip to 'pop' thru. The other part of the 'guess' is some additional movement on the target guy ...

Re: 2" Mandrake tips suck and you all know it
Is there a way to check the foam discs without removing the entire tip? I suspect that there is not, in which case that is a problem (the severity of that problem is up to individual interpretation).

Re: 2" Mandrake tips suck and you all know it
I would have them checked before letting anyone use them. The most common issue is simply the foam inserts degrading, which is an easy fix.Aaron wrote: And I think they tips are still in good shape even now after 8 years of using them.
