We have had mixed results with their equipment. One "Battle-Ready" rapier broke in five pieces on one imnpact in the middle of a live performance. Other weapons like their Highland Claymore (2-hander) earns high praise.

There are others, of course. When you Google, be sure to say SPORT fencing to avoid all the chain-link and wooden posts.
