check with your kingdoms marshalls- they should know some good suppliers- In general, part of that caveat stems from the fact that what the SCA, sport fencers and historical fencers call schlagers are three different things....... the original schlager blade was sharp, but only at the tip and was used to produce those wonderfull dueling scars that were so popular in germany around the turn of the last century- now however its the generic term for a "safer " blade that is not just an epee blade- Personally, I like the light rapier with the schlager blade that paul chen's Hanwei forge makes- have had a few guys from one of the ren faires that I work buy a few for stage use, and they love em.......
