Stab-Only

Any segment of a weapon may be built to be Stab-Only.

  1. As the name implies, weapon segments built to be Stab-only can only be used to stab.

  2. A Stab-Only segment requires 6” of Strike-Legal Padding. This padding must begin at the Striking Tip and extend down the length of the weapon on all sides of the core (a flat blade cannot be stab-only).
    • This padding cannot be reduced by Heavy Padding or Super Heavy Padding.
    • A weapon that is only composed of Stab-Only segments can replace all other Strike-Legal Padding required by its type with Incidental Padding.
    • A weapon with both regular and stab-only segments must still meet the full padding requirements for its type. For example, if a weapon needs to be 2/3 Strike-Legal, the completed weapon must still be 2/3 Strike-Legal overall even if the Stab-Only segment can be reduced to just 6".

  3. If a weapon has both regular and stab-only segments, they must not be arranged in such a way that could risk striking a player with a non-striking surface when the weapon is used to slash.
