Hoskin Blades

**forte'** · 07-30-2001 01:01 PM

I just bought a new epee' and I upgraded to the hoskin blade. Does anyone have any experience with these blades over the entry level blades?
Thanks in advance

I assume you mean 'Hostin', as in Hostin Plus, which is one of France Lames' non-maraging models. I've never used a Hostin epee blade, but the foil blades are a bit less stiff than standard FL foil blades, and did seem to last longer when I last used them (which was over 4 years ago).
