would you be able to latex these when they're finished for extra security and style?

Sorry for my bad english, but im not a nationalspeaker
so my question
this blue stoff, what`s the name of it
-
using the little strip of foam for a larping katana on the backside makes me doubt it would pass any organized larping inspection. Sure it would look great but it seems to me it would be very dangerous.

does the thrusting tip of the sword have to be left wide on the edges? or can you shave the open cell foam down to better fit with the thickness of the blade?

I have recently made Jitte. It's easy. Just make the guards out of pipe insulation and then firm them up with Gorilla Tape. If that isn't firm enough for you, I have used the stem of a fake flower (it is basically padded wire). You shape it for the guard and then put pipe insulation over it.

The foam is called Ozark Trail Camp Mat Foam. You can get it at Walmart for 5.88 a roll.

Yes, but then none of these designs would pass a lot of inspections. NERO has a rule, and so does SCA that noting can be smaller than 2 inches across. Non of my weapons meet the requirement. The fact is, yes, it might hurt, but no one has complained and we play a light style, not an adult "real" combat style.

Yes the tip needs to be wide so it doesn't fold over. You can make it thinner if you use the closed cell foam for a tip, but it will be harder and you will have to be more careful with it. The problem with a thin tip is it will fold over and then you will hit players with the padded bar instead of the soft point.
