Small Sword?

I have been looking for a good place to buy a small sword from, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? My family is all fencers, and I thought a replica small sword might make a good gift. I thought the people here might have some experience with vendors...

A smallsword?

Do you want sharp, bated, or no preference?

Arms & Armor has a standard smallsword and a silvered version, available with sharp blades or practice blades. CLICK HERE

G. G. Godwin, Inc., has a colichemard available with a nice scabbard and an hanger. CLICK HERE

Pheonix Metal Creations makes smallswords, but is cutting back production. I think they are blund, but am not sure. CLICK HERE

Cold Steel has an oversized, overweight model available. CLICK HERE

Smiling Fox Forge makes some nice replicas for stage and re-enactment use (blunted). CLICK HERE

I also know of a custom-made pattern-welded smallsword up for sale for only $3800. It's beautiful, and unfortunately somewhat more than I can comfortable afford.

It would be neat to have one that was sharp, but more importantly I want one that is balanced and weighted right. Too bad you can't flick one though

Kevin Dougherty at http://www.tcasfencing.com makes good quality, durable and well-balanced practice smallswords using #2 practice epee blades.

If they actually want to fence with it, it would be a better option than most of the above and a lot cheaper than the Arms and Armor ones.

I'll rent you mine, but you have to promise to be gentle....This is why this is a seperate forum- you can post armoury questions here if you want, but you'll get penis jokes.
