Aluminum Core French Grip

[Krazyhades]

I know I posted this question a few months back, but I never got around to actually ordering the aluminum core french grips. I've been searching for about 45 minutes now and I cannot find a website that carries them.

Does any french-gripper (or anyone else, actually) out there know where I could order some aluminum-core grips?

*raises hand* I sell them (because I can actually tighten them instead of deforming the rubber core).

Drop me a PM to discuss...

I get mine (and the pommels) from PBT.

I bought mine from American Fencers Supply Co.

The catalog # was 303M, under the Foil Parts section.

Is it possible to bend a french that has a plastic core with rubber outside? I would think that's even lighter and easier to shape. Or is the plastic too "brittle" and snaps?

I've always had them snap if I try...

Aluminum core is also better because it takes some of the stress of the tang when you flick.
