| Clamp the blade 70 cm from the point, set so that its flexion will be in the vertical plane. Hang a 200 g weight 1 cm from the point. The distance that the point should deflect from its unweighted position should be between 4.5 cm and 7 cm.

| Thank you very much.
Also, do you know if there is any way to find out the metalic content of blades? Could you call up a company hotline and just ask?
By the way, what is a flexion?

| By flexion I meant the direction it bends.
One of the appendices to the rules lists the FIE guidelines for maraging steel used in FIE homologated blades (it's essentially just the content ranges for maraging steels that were already on the market, not some custom formula developed specially for fencing). Non-FIE blades are generally of simple carbon steel (probably one of the 10xx's or the like). I wouldn't expect a vendor to be up on the precise steel a given manufacturer uses.

if you're really curious, we can use an XRF from work to figure it out.

-w | i think he was really curious 3 and a half years ago.
considering his attention span, i would imagine he doesn't care now....

That could be really useful as a reference. Like a book or something. A book of rules. We could even call it the rulebook! Oh, wait...
