Looking for original manufacturer: Allstar "Super" blade

Apologies in advance if this has been brought up before (my searches have not found anything similar... )

I am looking to replace a pair of Allstar Super blade I have, but I do not want to purchase from Blade et al.

https://www.allstar.de/modules.php?o...ducts_id=75412


As far as I can tell, the only thing special about this particular item is the "Allstar" name stamped into the forte, but, I cannot find any other manufacturer/forge stamp on it. I am hoping it's just something from BF/StM/Bniti, that I can get my hands on readily.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Super" blade... that one does not even appear to be of maraging steel. However, the forge you're after is "BF"... best balance and feel currently available in a blade, but priced accordingly Most places have them... Blue-gauntlet, absolute, fencing post. BG seems to have the best prices. Personally, I think the FIE BF's are better, but up to you.

Yeah "super" is just a cheesey label. I had a feeling they were BF blades, but I've been hunting for confirmation. They aren't FIE blades, but for the price they serve me quite well, and have lasted a good long while of 3+ practices/week.
Thanks for the info.
Cheers

WhipLash will become famous soon enough
does any other forge besides stm and BF makes coloured blades? since allstar offers a coloured version of the "super" blade, could it be a stm non-maraging blade?
