What's the width of the blade? I'm converting a blade for use that came with a scabbard that I won't be able to use once I put a tip on it

It is about 3/4 inch at its widest, it is a standard Zen Armory rapier blade.PatternWeld wrote:What's the width of the blade? I'm converting a blade for use that came with a scabbard that I won't be able to use once I put a tip on it

With or without. I bought a real SCA rapier, so I will need to be tipped. Unless I want to remove the tip every time I want to use the rapier for court (which I may do as silly as it sounds, until I have money again for a dress rapier..)
Do I make sense? Can you get a rapier with the tip into a decent looking scabbard?

A custom made one yes. The extra I have would be for a bare blade, no tip

Speak with Baron Talun (in Nottinghill Coill). If you go with the "bare-minimum SCA legal tip" you can fit them into a scabbard (at least you can with the hanwei blades). He has perfected the method for making the tips so they are legal and fit into a scabbard. He may also have an extra scabbard that will fit.Glaukos the Athenian wrote:losthelm wrote:So it needs to fit an sca rapier w/ tip?

Later this year, I may have an extra rapier blade and scabbard and can make a guard for you. I won't know until the person who actually owns it decides whether they want an fighting blade or not...

Freon can helmets reappear from time to time too.
