Ýves’ merchant directory for SCA rapier,
page 2

Updated: Dec 5, 2005 

Home > SCA > Rapier > here
 

This is page 2. These suppliers do not offer blunt schläger blades (and similar "heavy" blades) for SCA rapier combat. However, they do offer wooden wasters and staves, rubberband guns, sword hangers, frogs, shields, and more.

To see a list of suppliers that sell such blades for our style of fencing, see page 1 of this directory.

 

About the s-word

By my understanding, schläger is the correct term, though schlaeger is appropriate too. It is properly pronounced (SHLAH-eh-ger), combining the ah and eh together.

Other reasonable pronuniciations are (shlayger) and (shlegger).

 

Listed below are the suppliers and highlights of what they offer.
