Re: Rattan in Foam
This stuff seems like a natural match with SCA youth combat.

Re: Rattan in Foam
I like it. Certainly for pole arm heads and spear tips... as is it would make a gorgeous partisan!
Offer one or two to your KEM for testing and see what happens.
If it will dent a steel trash can edge-on, it will certainly deliver a stout enough blow for what we do.

Re:
Nope, the metal hilt and pommel are against the rules in Markland. And the pointy tip, I shudder to think about that passing through a bar grill.Konstantin the Red wrote:Markland might like it. Rattan + foam is typical for them.
Much like the SCA, we require all parts of the blade to be at least 1-1/4" wide so it can't pass through a bargrill.Gunther Neiman, Warlord of House Black Moon of Markland

I'm thinking spears, pollaxes, maces and war hammers.
