Baltimore Knife and Sword (BKS) feder review
MDJouster:
Sorry, to hear you had troubles with BKS. I've known Kerry for ages. He's a good guy and stand by his swords but some times you have to prod him a wee bit. His shop is off of Marriotsville road and he has an annual "fire and brimstone" metalworking/blacksmithing/knifesmithing event which is worth checking out.
He has made wood handles (Krissie has a lovely rapier from him with a purpleheart/silver ring handle) and I can imagine just about every other option you can imagine for your sword. I usually don't think of him for plain practice gear but his prices are pretty good.
Come to think of it I had to chase him quite a bit for that rapier. It was intended to be a Christmas gift and he managed to deliver it late Christmas eve.
Lady Jouster:
I, too, am sorry to hear you had a bad experience with BKS. Kerry's work is great, it just can be a bit rough getting it out of him, as Mike mentioned. My rapier is, to this day, the most gorgeous sword I own. I really need to use it more, I so miss fencing.
We also have a pair of BKS swords we use for catching rings and chopping lettuce in our joust show. We have beat the snot out of those swords and they've taken a beating and survived. He's a great guy who does really nice work, if a bit scatterbrained. I hope you get your replacement at opening day (is that this Saturday?) and love it!

There is also Adam over at On the Mark Armoury.
