Thanks for the advice. I'll probably just buy the weapon with a wooden handle and see how I get on. I didn't realise that the lightweight socket wasn't get durable though.

It'll be good to finally...

I'm just about to start taking sabre lessons and I'm going to buy a sabre.

I was wondering what parts others use. My coach recommended allstar sabres but I've found out that the socket is...

Are there any other advantages to these wires?

The biggest one I can think of is the fact that you can have your mask in your arm without having to unclip the wire as well as not ripping off when...

I actually prefer sabre so the username is slightly misleading.

I thought allstar made them but I can't find them on their site.

Yeah that's the one.

Exactly how are the LP ones better?

Does anyone know what companies sell those springy telephone cord head wires?

I can't seem to find one anywhere.

I'd just like to thank everyone here for the moral support on this thread. I suppose I just have to live and learn.

I sent everything to wingnut (possibly clogging up his inbox with all kinds of...

As noted in the title, I have a medium Leon Paul Economy FIE plastron for sale. It looks to be in excellent condition but used lightly.

I can of course take more pictures if required.

I am only...

He's just stating facts but I find this to be in completely...

I'm going to send all the details to Leon Paul when I get back from work.

Hopefully my bad experience means that nobody else will have to deal with this.

The key mistake I made was to trust someone because of the community that they are part of. I'd like to stress that I've had nothing but good experiences when dealing with anyone within the fencing...

I would like to warn anyone who is trading through this forum to be extremely careful with who you deal with. As with anyone on the internet, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

That's odd. What happened there?

Sizing is not a problem since my club is lucky enough to be run by an LP supplier.

My coach is encouraging me to buy FIE stuff so I don't have to buy in the future again although what happens if I...

Thanks for all the good advice. I think I've had enough of digging through the club kit for half an hour to try and find kit that fits me. Unfortunately it feels as if I'll have to sell a kidney in...

Hi everyone!

I started fencing about a month ago and I'm still really enjoying it. I thought I'd better register and say hello since I've been using this forum a bit for information.

Obviously...
