Flexi epees

This may sound like an oxymoron to some of you out there but the France Lame (FL) epees are incredibly flexible. I was wonderign where i could find a very flexible epee, instead of these. I ordered some WKC blades from Triplette and the person there said they are rather flexible so... i was wondering if anyone has any experience with these?

Some Viniti blades have such a desired quality. Also, BF Blue blades are supposedly wet noodles depending on batch. I guess that's the real answer; any blade can be whippy if you find the right batch.

Also, some Leon Pauls might be what you're after.

leon paul epees are extremely flickly. But weapons no matter what tend to vary from blade to blade. Try before you buy if possible.
