    Absolute Signature Series Lame

    Absolute just released the new AF Signature Series Lame line. It is made from a premium INOX material, this is the finest lame Absolute has ever offered! Other Premium lames advertise their material is 25% or 40% metal and that's by weight but our material is 50% metal by thread count! It comes with one year continuity warranty. Any comments, questions?

    With that much more metal, wouldn't it be heavier?

    Yes, I work in Absolute....Some fencers/coaches know me more than 8 years ago also call me Gang.....

    No, this lame is about the similar weight to the standard copper lame.. There are already quite few fencers ordered this signature series lame and we would appreicate feedbacks from them.

    Has anyone got any reviews of this lame (sorry for the resurrection, but hey, I used the search feature!)?

    My AF lightweight lame developed little wierd holes, and I really like the cut of the AF jackets and lames, so picked one up on faith, anyone have any experience with the signature series?

    I got it about a month ago. I like it. It feels good, it seems pretty light.

    It is NOT 50% metal by thread count. I forget the number exactly, but I believe its actually 25%.
