| Bniti One Piece Foil Guard
I was looking at the Blade site, and they list Bniti One Piece Foil Guards as $18. Are they the same ones as the Vniti Titanium Alloy Guards I hear so much about? How are they? |

| They probably are and it's a typo...Blade is one of Vniti USAs vendors. | |

| I wouldn't buy anything else. I've been using these exclusively for the last four years and only had to replace one. They hold up exceptionally well. The only drawback is that you may have to file down the hole to get your tang through it.

| It has to be a typo. The picture that Blade posts looks like the Vniti one-piece and I can't believe that a well-known supplier would come out with a knock off called a Bniti, (although there are the Abidas knock offs).
If you are interested in saving a few bucks, BG sells its own knock off of the Vniti. It is not finished as nicely, but it does seem to perform similarly to the Vniti. Absolute has a German made titanium alloy one piece, but I don't know anything about it.

Vniti/Bnini= same thing. Check the list of dealers from the site. | |

| In Cyrillic the equivalent letter for the v sound looks like a B in the Roman alphabet.
-B :)

| I think that Bniti, if pronounced as in English, is a funny word. | |
