Sean - a double-wide epee is the standard blade on the 1032 series Hanwei 'Fencing Rapier' - most CASI/Hanwei distributors seem to carry replacement blades as well as complete pieces. I believe the part# designation is LASP02 for the blade alone. Not sure on the manufacturer or durability of these, so caveat emptor and all that.
