I need to correct my E-mail address for Meridian Rapier Marshal reporting. Please use Fsouris AT bellsouth.net for your reports. YIS, Francois le Souris ...
Does anyone have any used but legal blades they would like to part with, be it by sell trade or charity? New rapier fighters in the Kingdom(actually team, my...
Any comments on the *Hanwei Practical Rapier?* I found a good price on want but would like some feedback before purchasing it. Thank You, Orlando -- "Prudentia...
There was a survey done a while back: http://www.therotunda.net/rapier/survey-1/q10-blades.shtml and there is a page of just opinions on Hanwei blades: ...
I've seen the comments before and what bothers me are the contradictions. Are there any actual documented instances of one of these swords breaking? Any other...
I've personally seen two of them break. One of them was on me *chuckle*. That particular blade was one of the early blades and was at least 5 years old at...
I have the 37" practical rapier and have been using it regularly now for 3 years. I think I initially bought the entire weapon for $100 on eBay, but prices...
A few of us were planning on coming down tomorrow, as long as you'll still be holding practice. It's at 2, right? Can anyone give me the best directions to...
My mapping system says to go up I-24 to SR-840. Take SR-840 to I-65. Go South on I-65 to Exit 37 It does not like cross-country in that area when set to...
Unfortunately, there is a demo in Winchester, TN that we were planning on going to tomorrow. It's at the Dogwood Festival down there. It's a good hour and a...
With the weather being so bizarre tonight, I thought I'd send directions to the Redewolf crew just in case you decided to come down and meet us as we head to...
Damn! I sure know how to pick days :( Unfortunately, we've decided to not join you all tomorrow -- it'd be about an 8 hr round trip from Murray, and that's...
"The ONLY difficulty I've ever had with the weapon was intially trying to fit a schlager blunt over the tip." I may be off base here, but I remember it being...
Next Saturday is a go, yes. We will hold practice as normal at 2pm at Ysabel's school. By all means, come on down. And anyone else that wants to join us is...
I really appreciate everyone's feedback. The whippyness does worry me since I've used some of the 40 inch Del Tin's and found them to be too whippy for my...
I've held a couple of the Hanwei's and found them to be significantly whippier than Del Tins. As for the second broken blade, it was at Gulf Wars 13. It...
... If you like your Hanwei and are used to it, you may dislike the ZWA/TCA blades. I had one that was like a hunk of rebar. Almost no distal or profile taper....
I currently own two TCA blades and have been quite happy with. I do have to sand the edges quite a bit but otherwise I have no complaints. I was wondering if...
Calling Jean-Michel....please contact me off list. Ysabel ... Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at...
I bought a 43" Hanwei at Pennsic last year. I must admit, getting used to the "whippiness" was a bit of a chore. However, after much practice, and learning the...
Do you have a bird blunt on the end of it? Removing that from a Hanwei can really help with the blade dynamics. It will still have flex, but it is not put...
I agree...that's always been my gripe with Foil. In period, I imagine, well placed shot would have been much more effective then a 'flick'. Orlando -- ...
I find it fairly unlikely that a classic flick would meet the pressure requirements, but I have seen people use a flick-like maneuver to get the tip far enough...
