    sTm vs. Leon Paul

    I've seen a lot of threads comparing the sTm blades with the LP Etoil or the LP France blades. I've fenced with a France and think it's a bit too whippy for my taste.

    So the question is: Does anyone know how the Leon Paul Blaise Frere (non maraging) compares with the France and Etoile in durability and flexibility?

    Blaise Freres is the forge, it doesn't matter that you're buying it from LP. It will probably last about as long, maybe it won't, but it should be in that area. It will be stiffer.

    the BF non maraging are a fair bit stiffer than the France but don't last as long.

    Get them while they are hot. BF have said that they aren't going to produce any more non FIE blades any more as there is no demand (less profit!).
