    Vniti FIE Foil Blade w/Leon Paul GT Point

    This blade was part of a complete weapon that UPS lovingly delivered to a customer.

    UPS decided to modify the blade by placing a 40 degree angle at the foible, which the customer did not appreciate. Something about wanting new blades to be straight and not go over the 2cm bend.

    This blade has been straightened out and the wire tests good. Cut for pistol grip with a very slight RH cant.

    We won't be putting this on a new weapon, so it's yours for a song (plus some cash). No warranties, etc.

    $65.00 by PayPal or plastic. PM me if interested.

    Thanks,
    Craig

    From what I understand, UPS is a preferred courier in the US. Outside of the US they don't perform as well however.

    In Canada, UPS is a joke. Most Canadian companies will beg their US suppliers to use another courier because they lose and break stuff wayyy more than any other courier.

    If you are having problems with packages arriving in one piece (or at all) from other countries via UPS, you might want to consider switching to DHL or Fed-Ex. I think you will be much happier. I've worked with a lot of different couriers shipping to almost every country in the world and have been very happy with these two internationally.

    Negotiate with them for better rates... you'll be surprised how much room is there for negotiating when they want your business. You may also want to look into using your own customs broker. They are much less expensive than using the courier company for this.

    LOL... I had to look up that term, apparently you're a cone or cone-shaped structure. I didn't know that about you.

    Yeah. It's really impressive when they take a tube with 5 blades in it and get a right angle to form.
