Quick and Dirty Costume Rapier
In this Instructable, you will be making a costume sword. I made this in about 30 minutes on halloween to complete a costume I was working on. It's made of copper wire, some tape, and a golf club handle. Cheap, fast, and easy to build.
Enjoy!

Its a golf club shaft. You can usually pick up a used club at a thrift store for a couple of dollars and cut it down with a pipe cutter or a hacksaw (probably).
