This is a fantastic price - if you try to buy it elsewhere online, it runs $15-20 a stave plus shipping, and local martial arts stores ask $25-30 for 6 ft. staves - so if you are a Division 2 or 3 fighter, I highly recommend that you pick up a stave this weekend. You can get three swords (or a sword, a great weapon, and a dagger) out of a 9 ft. piece of rattan. I will be getting 10 staves to sell to baronial youth fighters, thanks to the barony providing the
front money. <span style="font-weight: bold;">We are required to switch from PVC to rattan for all Division 2 and 3 weapons as of the end of March</span>, so this is the perfect time to replace your old PVC weapons! </span></div><div class="yiv1613341924yui_3_2_0_24_131436516641965 yiv1613341924yui_3_2_0_17_131491212114767
