   FW: [SCA_Chivalry] FW: [SeaMarch] Ban on Ha nwei Blades Made in China

   This past week at Pennsic there was a broken blade. Most evidence
   says it was a Hanwei blade, but there's a small chance it was from a
   different, Chinese manufacturer. This blade broke into 5 pieces, with
   flat ends showing a lot of crystallization (evidenced by the
   sparkles). No injuries occurred.
   Trimaris has currently banned all Hanwei blades for all Trimaran
   fencers, with discussions to occur at Trimaris Coronation, first
   weekend of September.
   These blades are NOT banned at the Society level.
   I will post further updates at: http://www.sca-rapier-news.com/
