what is the rule on covering a weapon? i knew there was something about no designs or something like that. cuz i found this really cool cloth the is black with red flames and inside the flames are skulls and i thought it would look cool on my swords im making. i didnt want to get the cloth and then not be able to use it.

The rule is no modern patterns and/or logo's. I would personally not use that fabric. Some might allow it, but some others might not.

yeah it's be cool, but might be better used on something else. But having a sock to cover it is a good idea too, cause maybe you could have it for pictures and for RP battles.

Why not just make a good cover instead?

Depends on exactly how it looks. I'm with Haldour though. If you know how to make covers with drawstrings, you can just make two covers and switch them around if you want.

 1. Start with your fabric, which you've measured to fit your sword. Figure A2. Make a seam along the bottom. Depending on the fabric, you might fold over more than once before sewing. You should probably use pins, as a fold this small will tend to unroll itself. Figure B3. Make a seam along the edge. Make sure you don't sew the drawstring "channel" closed. Pull the fabric over your sword (inside-out is fine at this point). If it's tight enough, move on. If not, sew it a little tighter. Figure C4. Once the cover is tight enough, turn the cover 90 degrees. This way, when the cover is done, the seam won't be on a striking surface. Sew your rounded tip. Pull it on (again, inside-out is fine) and make sure it's tight, with no dog-ears. Figure D5. Flip the cover right-side out. Take your drawstring and pull it through the "channel" you've made. I put a safety pin through the end to help me work the string through. 6. Pull cover over sword, tie drawstring, and abuse friends. A drawstring cover isn't hard to make, makes the blade easily accessible for repairs, and when it's dirty, you pull it off and throw it in the washer with your dirty underwear. And in most cases, it looks better, too. Alric |
