Latex Sword Merchant

Thanks, James 

If it is a latex weapon company it should be fine. However that statement is never a promise, only a reassurance, that if someone is professionally making and selling latex weapons, chances are they are approved for use. The bottom line really draws down to the player using the weapon. If the player uses the weapon safely and does not get complaints of being hurt from other players, than nine times out of ten, there should be no issues.

For what it's worth, I've ordered from Olan Knight several times, and he's always provided top-notch customer service.  Knighthawk Armory is a good business to deal with.

I have a sword from knight-hawk armory and it was approved without problem, but they sell from a couple of different manufacturers, so I do not know if everything there will be as compliant with KR as my sword (Forgotten Dreams) is.

Knighthawk armoury also makes custom weapons.

Will these weapons need to be approved on an individual basis or can one assume that if the manufacturer is approved that the weapon will be safe. Should a person send a personal message to one of the KR staff with description and pictures first?

I'd just hate to spend time and money on a custom weapon to have it rejected at a KR event.

As per forum rules, please sign all your posts with an OOG name to refer to you by. Thanks.

James above answered the question as best anyone can.  9 times out of 10 a professionally made latex weapon will pass, particularly if the manufacturer has repeatedly shown to do approved work.  However, there is always the possibility that a weapon comes faulty or is a new less safe (by our standards) design, and frankly no number of pictures will really tell a marshal if a weapon is too hard or if you can feel the core through the foam - that can only be done in person at the event, as with any other weapon.  For this reason, no one on staff will ever gauruntee you that something they have not physically handled will pass, on the off chance it does not for some reason.
