    Ihave an Epee with that symbol. There's been some discussion about a company called Fleche in the UK who used to use this symbol however they went out of business back in the late 70's early 80's.

    I'm just curious because we found 2 of this blades on the club, and my coach doesn't remember where did they came from. I doubt they come from United States, we have no equipment from there, but I don't know.

    There are currently no US produces blades that I'm aware of...but I agree with Freaky that looks like Blade's l;ogo

    i'm reasonably sure it is fleche
    our club has a crapload of em too
    i think they might've stopped making foil blades. i'm not really sure. i don't really see that mark anywhere anymore, is all.
    someone with factual info wanna step in?

    It is a Fleche' foil blade that was produced in the Ukraine, for the Blade Fencing Equipment Company some time before 1996. The Fleche' blade has been sold all over the world both by the Blade company and the forge in the Ukraine (mostly unmarked though).

    i just threw out 3 practice blades with that logo because i hated them so much that I just couldn't live with them anymore. they were 5 dollars a piece from blade and I should have never bought them.

    Its from BLADE!

    I have many of these blades as well. The little guy in fleche is like an old friend...so I instantly recognized it. They have usually been very good and rarely had problems except for when I get some blades wired with bad glue.
    d00d..that last touch was MINE!
