Not the best solution ever, but it works and it's available. The blade is about 4cm wide (8mm rod + leather reinforcement + 2x15mm foam) just before the tip curves into a point (coming down from about 80mm at the top of the ricasso where I have three rods in parallel plus foam), and 30mm thick (3x10mm layers of foam) at the spine. The core is constructed in a way similarly to the pic I posted, I found this to be the optimal solution to not make it wobbly while not making it too thick with the materials available - then again, only 8mm fiberglass rods available, a carbon or hybrid rectangular would probably work way better, hell, even a 10x15mm rectangular fiberglass rod would mean a lot.
Anyways, these solutios won't neccessarily transfer well to the larps you play - in some american larps or battlegames they are explicitly forbidden.
