ARN - Re: AmFence Daggers

[Robert Gonzalez]

Thank you for the advice on how to spot a flexi.
The reason I was wondering how the other short blades were made was because
the rules also state that, "These blades will not be altered by grinding,
cutting, heating or other actions that could significantly alter their
temper, flexibility or durability. "  And then more specifically, "Rigid
metal "parrying-only" daggers such as those made from cut down blades will
not be allowed."
If those other dagger blades are made in anyway that violates these rules
then they are disallowed. If not then it might be worthwhile to check into
them more closely.
BTW this link seems to work better for Ansteorran rules.
