Anyone caught with ANY live steel (real swords, knives, etc.) is quickly removed from the field in an SCA combat. In our local kingdom, no one to my knowledge has brought live steel onto the field. It's too dangerous. The weapons are sticks of rattan, shapped with foam and wrapped in duct tape. This is not nearly as dangerous (and never fatal) as live steel is. The armor however, is real.
