Well, thankfully I got my blade wired, tip sorted, and weapon put together last week, because I broke ANOTHER blade today! That's two blades in consecutive competitions. :-(

The downside is that they were both wonderful blades, well-balanced, light, and just right. Also expensive, being BF FIE blue blades. Ah well, I got over two years out of them. I won't complain too much about that.

Now I need to get another wire to get this second STM blade into action. It never stops!

(but it's still fun)
