[Ansteorra] siloflex swords

[Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace]

Salut cozyns.
 
Duct tape is not required on swords. Swords are required to be "wrapped in a manner that allows no rattan splinters to protrude." Siloflex meets that requirement.
 
I use electrical tape if I don't manage to cover the pipe specs with blade marking tape. 
 
Blade edges and thrusting tips are, of course, required to be marked.
En Lyonel
