"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I'm sure that for LARP they are probably fine. I've handled very similar types of latex sword boffers, and they are nearly completely useless for historical swordsmanship. They are way too light, they don't behave realistically when the blades come together, and they don't "move" right when in motion. I assume they are made for LARP, where no protection is worn, and a hit point based system is used, in which case you would want something to be very light and very safe.
