It is simply preference and what we are used to and enjoy.
Also I have made wooden gladii (?)ruddiii(??) and dislike the way they shatter after a period of time. Although the wooden ones from India (on the net) have been at times more than reasonably priced I refuse to pay the excessive postage that has been asked.
I have procured plastic ones for recruits and training and they are fun to spar with.
I have nothing against others using them. (Wood/neelefelt etc)
and would if I was at an event where they were standard.
My severed finger was due to borrowing others gear and that is remedied now,
