Hello everyone!

We are swordmakers from Hungary, Europe, and we have recently been asked in several subs whether our light blade type could be suitable for SCA.

Please keep in mind that we are beginners when it comes to the SCA and its community, so we are very open to learning and receiving feedback from more experienced SCA fencers and marshals.

From what we understand, the rules can vary somewhat between Kingdoms, but we understand that a blade should flex at least 1 inch when a 6 oz weight is applied to the tip.

Our light Viking sword blade flexes exactly 1 inch under this test.

What are your thoughts?

Could a blade like this potentially work for SCA? And would there be any interest in such a blade?

We'd be very interested to hear your feedback!

Thank you all!

(We are currently in the workshop during the day, so we will reply to comments after our shift.)

Before you start typing away—this is not a sales post! 😄

Most of our work has been focused on 9th- and 10th-century sport optimalized reenactor swords, but we're gradually stepping into the HEMA world as well.

We've just finished our first batch of Meyer rapiers, and we'd genuinely love to hear what you think. Any feedback is welcome.

The blades are made from spring steel and factory heat-treated to 50 HRC.

Flex can be customized. We made some with a flex of 5–6 kg and others with 8–9 kg (measured using the "traditional" scale test method, so the weight of the rapier itself is included in those values).
