    Cartel BF blades

    To all who've been waiting for them (Ludicrous, if I recall?), they're back in stock!

    Vous pouvez à nouveau commander des lames FIE "BF" sur le site (uniquement des blanches pour l'instant)., meaning -

    You can now place new orders for FIE BF blades on the website (only the whites for now).

    Now if only someone from Cartel would kindly send me one blade for advertising on their behalf..

    Hmm, someone at my club is selling a BRAND NEW super bf blue, very stiff, once used blade. If I don't get that, however, I might look at cartel down the line

    She said she'd give the BF blue away for cheap. I hope its cheap enough.

    Edit: "Electric Foil blade FIE "Reflets" Is on the cartel website, what forge is that? Anyone had any experience? Its the same cost as a BF white.

    "Reflets" might be the rainbow colored blades... "Reflets" means highlights
    • Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
    • To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial

    It seems like the Reflets blades from Cartel are STM blades. If they are not STM they definitely are Ukrainian.

    In terms of cartell BF white flexibility, what is it like? I fenced a clubmate who borrowed my coaches cartel, it seemed stiff enough when it hit me. Are they generally stiff across the board? I want something stiff and well made, because my StM occasionally drags the point around when I parry/disengage, and it annoys me.

    Also, what is Cartel's shipping like? In terms of cost and time. How much was it for you, how long did it take? Sure, you don't live here, but they aren't forthcoming about their shipping times .

    I don't know about the shipping time and cost, I didn't order any from them eventually as a friend was going to place a bulk order with Uhlmann, so I just ordered with him as well..

    And yes it does look like the BFs are out of stock again
