Looking for Stainless cup hilt for SCA Heavy. I've searched around a bit and haven't found any. Who makes some?

Did you try looking on the internet?

Just off the top of my head, Illusions, Bokalo, Red Falcon... there must be others. Oh, if by "cup" you mean "cup or basket" I know Ice Falcon has them in stainless too.

The last time I seen one was on e-bay, unfortunately I don't know who was making them and I didn't see any listed in stainless.

I think the lowest price for them you can find on the net, new, would be Ashcraft Baker.

Unfortunately A/B does not sell SS cuphilts. http://www.triplette.com/Theatrical%20Fencing/sca_rattan_armor.htm usually have them in stock and they do not get much heavier. Acouple of our guys fight with and you can hardly scratch them. At nearly 1.5# they seem to balance out a rattan sword well. Oops forgot to say go down to the bottom of the page, looking for the Thag-1. They have pictures too.
