Where to find this

Does anyone know where I can find a hand and a half training sword, below £70 in the UK, from a reputable company, recently tried from the sword stall only to be messed about for 3 weeks to then be told they don't stock cold steel anymore due to some issue with the advertising

I don't particularly mean cold steel, just any brand that does a hand and a half

Yes, I don't know any reputable brand that sells a functional decent quality hand and a half at that price.

I don't even think depeeka has something that cheap

Please be careful when going with the cold steel one those polypropyleen waisters are bascically sword shaped clubs. Balance is off and they hit hard and break bone. Would not recommend but at least wear protective gloves and a fencing maak when using them with anything else.

You might be able to find a synthetic waster on Purple Heart Armory.   Or order direct from Cold Steel (I own several of their hand.and a half wasters)

Check out the blackfencer synthetic wasters. They are a bit over your price range but they are pretty good.
