I would go with the Leon Paul Paul France blades. If I lived in the area I or was a parent of a student I would be asking very hard questions as to why my tax dollars and the school fencing club budget was being wasted on overpriced equipment. Leon Paul kit is tops for the elite fencer but it is a bit overpriced for beginners to be banging around, although it does last a long time.

All things being equal you could do much worse than having to buy LP equipment (that is what most of the blades at santelli is) I am just surprised the school likes tossing money around like that. I wish my school would tell me that I could only by from LP or Uhlmann and give me the budget to back it up. At our school clubs it is more like "here is $1000.00 and we need kit for 25 fencers for the whole year".

I agree that Santelli is not the cheapest vendor. But from what i have seen, Santelli's club gear is very well made in comparison to other "club kits" that I have seen. So is it a waste if the club jacket lasts 15yrs? or a club mask still passes punch tests after 5yrs. I'm sure Santelli offers club discounts just like the other vendors as well. As for the foil blade I would go for the leon paul.

Find out why you can only buy from them. The majority of Santelli stuff is overpriced and extremely outdated. They still use a uniform design from the 50's.
