<div>Greetings,</div><div>There has been an update to the approved blades rules/list society-wide. </div><div>From our Society Rapier Marshal, Eyrny Ormarrsdottir:</div><div> </div><div><span class="messageBody">The new criteria for what makes a blade acceptable for SCA Rapier and Cut & Thrust combat is now posted on <a href="http://www.sca.org/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.sca.org</a>, which makes it an official rule, effective now. See <a href="http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/rapier/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://www.sca.org/officers/</span><span class="word_break"></span>marshal/combat/rapier/</a><br>
<br> Most blades currently allowed are expected to flex appropriately to continue to be allowed. <br> <br> Kingdoms can still place additional restrictions on which blades are allowed.<br> <br> Changes to the official rules/handbook won't happen for a few months, but the new text posted on the website supersedes the posted document.</span></div>
