I've seen and heard the term "live steel" bandied about quite a bit. Is there any consistent definition? I always took it to mean a weapon with a sharp/functional edge. I'm a bit curious whether or not fantasy writers make use of this term... I don't recall having run across it. </random curiosity> Kat On Wed, Dec 29, 2004 at 10:16:46PM -0700, Rion Bergquist wrote: > those who wish to have live steel at my shows as part of their costumes must > have said weaponry peace tied, my ops/security people have cable ties for > those who don't tie their own "toys" > > > What are the rules for those in costume who prefer to be armed? limits on > > sword lenth?
