    Have you heard of an interesting device in grammatical construction? It's generally referred to as a 'period'. It allows you to take a breath and signifies the end of a sentence. You should use them.

    On the actual topic, BG has them if you want to price shop.

    I believe Triplette sells them, as well.

    ironically, about 3 weeks ago, i was looking for the cheapest vniti vendor myself. i checked all fencing vendors and compared prices. Amfence will sell you the cheapest one (wired).

    I do not deal with Amfence so I might be missing something, but it seems that you pay (at minimum) $67 for a french grip and then $48 dollars for an upgrade to Vniti. Seems a bit steep to me. I am a Vniti junky so I try to keep track of who has them at good prices.

    Triplette will sell you the wired blade itself for 58.95 and then you can put on whatever guard/grip/socket that you like. The fencing post also carries them but they do not list them on the website. I have gotten a couple of them from there and I think they were about $65 for the blade itself, or about $90 complete, and that would be with german parts (except for the guard). Physical Chess also carries them but they call them BMI for some odd reason. They are Vniti though, don't let the wierd abbreviation fool you.

    Hope that helps.

    i asked this question a few weeks ago, i bought them from the fencing post and got them today i am excited. they offer them for $73 unwired but you get 20% off for online ordering so it goes for like $58.60 per blade. it is by far the best deal i could find.

    also, triplette lists unwired blades for $50, however i tried to order from them and they said they were out and did not plan on getting anymore.

    Vniti Blades

    Triplette wont carry them because they would have to by them from the US distributor like everyone else. If you get any that have a short tang they are from the original stock of about 2 years ago (heavier). The new inventory has long tangs and are a good bit lighter (both foil and epee) than they were. Most other vendors carry them. Prices do vary, but then so does service.
