Yeah, I like them, they are a good cheap blade. It can be ordered in almost any degree of weight/flickiness.

for a minute i thought you meant the fleche in actual fencing actions..hehehe. i used fleche foil blades both practice and electric and they held up fine. one lasted me over a year with twice a week usage and it broke at the tang. the electric ones are pretty flexible..good for flicking. i think they are reasonable priced and when you are in college like me you can't buy too many FIE ones if you intend to eat still. only thing is that they rust...if you go a few weeks without WD-40 they rust...i even think if you look at them too long they rust... but for me they last longer than most people here say theirs last.
same thing for epee too.
