The tip carries a slight flare in thickness and can be used as-is with proper protective gear, or fitted with a leather mask or plastic tip cap for added safety margin — check with your club or event organizer on tip requirements before sparring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:372;714-1085\"\u003eThis blade meets the SCA standard flex test (1\/2\" flex under a 6 oz load), making it a suitable option for SCA-affiliated fencers as well as HEMA practitioners — though always confirm current equipment requirements with your specific SCA kingdom or local marshal before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:320;1087-1406\"\u003eHandling details that matter in the bind: a ramped thumb guard for easy thumb placement during guard transitions, and a pommel indexed to the flat of the blade so you can feel edge alignment without looking. The grip uses a wood core in a rounded rectangular cross-section, bound with a cord overwrap for a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:380;1408-1787\"\u003eBuilt from 9260 spring steel with a wood handle core and cord wrap, and made in China. This is a club-tier feder, not a boutique or hand-forged piece — it's priced and built to be a reliable, replaceable training tool rather than a showpiece. If you're outfitting a whole club roster or want a beginner's first feder without a big investment, this is the category it's built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1
