What will be the standard for determining the safety of a green stabbing point on a sword?

If it’s a blue weapon, we will be doing light, medium, and hard thrusts one-handed with such weapons (one checker will do it into their thigh if the weapon is short, they will use another individual’s back if the sword is too long to check by a single person). Although two-handed thrusts certainly could be done with blue weapons on the battlefield, we believe that hard single-handed thrusts are more than adequate for safety and that too many safe blue/green weapons in the past have failed for stabbing tips because of over-stringent testing. Do not interpret this as us being “easy” on stabbing tips… they will still be checked thoroughly.
