| Epee Blade:
Can anyone give me some feedback on CF FIE maraging epee blades? I saw a deal on for pretty cheap, I just wonder what it's stiffness and how long they last? Thanks

| They're light. Not as stiff as BF whites. Durability, well I'm not sure about that. My friend's one hasnt let go yet.

| Chevalier is ****. Just watch it ding up and stuff. Man, you like heavy and stiff blades, I think you should spring for the STM FIE.

Though their feel is different
