IMO, schlager blades are definitely to be avoided when
one wants to learn rapier technique. After all,
schlagers are designed for one thing and one thing
only: cutting someone's face up. They're not tempered
for thrusting and have seldom, if ever, carried a
point. Rapier replica blades are getting better and
better as time goes on -- stick with one of these.=20
Once Scott at Darkwood gets his system down, I think
his blades will be an excellent choice. Del Tin's are
always a good buy, too.
