Hello! My combat organization, Lightspeed Saber League, uses exclusively 3/4" blades. Here's the best way to build them and use them so they're secure and last you a long time, even through dueling.

Far as I know, TCSS is the only supplier of the white 3/4" PC tube in the United States. Is anyone else here using it for dueling?
I'm just curious why you slit the hose? Especially since you showed that it fits over the 3/4 blade fine in one piece (if a little tough to get on, but that just means it would be more secure in my mind)
Good question. You don't HAVE to do it, but it makes it much easier to take off the cuff in the event you want to switch sides as illustrated in Part 4. I suppose you could just slit later as required, though you risk scarring your blade.Quote:

Awesome! Sounds like you've tried a variety of blade dimensions. Do you have a preference?Quote:

Thanks for the tip!
Interesting. I do feel that 7/8 is a good compromise between 1" and 3/4, aesthetically.Quote:
