Action Props Latex Weapons(Question/Opinion wanted)

I have been looking around at different latex weapons, mainly looking for a good durable off-hand weapon that preferably has a good basket hilt/guard. The only place I was able to locate that seems to have a good selection, and also isn't uber amounts extra for a guard; was Action Props by Arty Fakes:

Was wondering if anyone has used any of there weapons, and can give me their opinion on them; mainly as far as durability, as my off hand will end up taking a good amount of hits. But also on other factors such as weight, and what not.


Thanks,
Eric

I really like these actually.  I've borrowed a few of them and they handle great.  They are much better main hand weapons weapons than off hands because they are extremely light.  Also, their basket hilts may look cool, but they're incredibly flimsy.

Cool, that's exactly the info I was looking for. Thank You, Liam

Looks like ill be going with a Calimacil as my off hand(and probably just wear gloves, cause their couple models with guards are quite expensive, and not really the look I wanted). Still debating about what to use in my main hand...

Did I hear somebody say Calimacil?

Yes. Make them do custom weapons. 

I'm trying dammit!

What do you people want more, custom weapons or 42" blunts? I'm doing my best on the latter...
