I don't see any reason you couldn't make your own out of maybe 1/8"
plywood, they give the sizes, and looks like the lacing instructions are
complete enough. Plastic? Bah.

But how well would plywood work? Seems to me that it would be pretty
brittle for that particular use.

IIRC, the SCA doesn't use actual swords for re-enactment, they use
rattan sticks. Plywood might work okay for that. And, of course, it
would work great for walking around Rennaisance fairs and the like.
