| You need a new name, now that you've switched from epee to sabre.

| The sabre squad names all their weapons so they can tell them apart. The epees break to often, and thus change things (set, grip, bell pad) often enough that naming it wouldn't necessarily help. Quote:

| If you feel that way about sabre....how about SaM?... "a" is for "and" and you can figure out what the rest of the letters might mean.

Blake got me the zebra-striped pad for my guard. It's cool, though not as cool as the tiger-striped one. I need pretty weapons to offset the horror show of my epee fencing.

I only name a weapon if it draws blood. It's only happened once and I named it "OH SH!T I'm sorry" | |
