MR (who has read enough Shakespeare and other Renaissance lit to be well aware of the implications of horns....) Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

Cheers for the explanation though!

Ah, but Zilver dear, I don't think of you as a 'foreigner'---but rather just as a fellow citizen of Fencingland....

I think capes would be a great idea. Mine would be tie-dyed. Then my girlfriend will -really- think there is something wrong with me.
MMmmm..Tie-Dye.

I'd wear a cape as part of my warm-up only if it was shiny red with an S on it. Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and its all organized by the Swiss.

Then you'd catch hell from people asking why you as a foilist are wearing an S-for-sabre cape...or, even less charitably, asking if it stood for "sucks"...

honestly though, i've been thinking...maybe the cape isn't what we're looking for, it is a little far out. How about a boxing glove on the off hand? you couldn't score with it, but it'd be a neat little infighting stun tool. whenever you'd get close you'd sock them in the stomach and then finish to the back as they're keeled over. it'd add a whole new technique: instead of an attack into preperation, you'd break the march with a left hook.
