Common Barry, can we have even a little hint? Please? Maybe just letting us know if this will be an "official vendor" kind of thing or are you going to open and actual walk-in shop?
As an aside, I was doing drills the other week against a wall target. I was working on advance, advance fleche hit when I managed to step in the wet spot left by some other fencers sweaty kit just as I hit the fleche part of the drill. I went sailing blade first into the wall, my LP epee bent at about 90 degrees before I smacked the wall and took the strain of it. It now has just the perfect bend to it.
Don't know to many other blades that could survive that kind of treatment without a break or a horrible kink but the LP epee blades are just awesome as far as durability and the amount of abuse they will take. I have went through two BF blue FIE blades since I bought an LP as a backup and they are now my main weapons. Just bought a couple more, and together they were cheaper than replacing one of my broken BF's. Just thought I would share that story since we were talking about LP kit.
Just another lost soul saved by the (hit) First Church of EPEE!
