    Cord-Wound Frenchies

    Does anyone know where I can get good cord-wound foil and epee grips?
    Santelli tells me that the only man making them broke his machine recently.
    I suppose I could cobble one together myself but I would hate to think I was the only one on the planet twisting thread. Lonely.

    I think he's referring to a French grip that is wood wrapped in tightly wound cord instead of leather or a rubber coating.

    Something like this, I would think.
    If this post did not contain any sarcasm, it very well should have.

    The best way to get a good cord wound grip is to DIY.

    Barring that, Santelli used to sell 'em. I think they still do.

    However, I stand by my DIY suggestion

    I sort of figured in the DIY route myself. Thanks to all.

    Hey Sam,
    I thought 'Pacoima' only existed in Frank Zappa songs?

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh _ love those grips!

    If anyone else has these grips that they are not going to use I'd love to have them. The ones in the picture are Prieur cord over wood. If anyone has these lying around I'll trade you a pistol grip for them.

    Cheers
