This is the first I've heard of a SafeFlex rapier. To my knowledge, no
SafeFlex rapier has been approved by the society rapier marshal. They look okay,
but looks can be deceiving.
All blades approved by the SCA rapier marshal are approved by Ansteorra with
the exception of the Tripplet brand dagger blade (not the Tripplet brand
flexidagger blade; it's still okay). The Darkwood Armory Wideflex dagger is
approved for heavy rapier blade combat only. So if Dylan (the society rapier
marshal) approves them they are okay.
