    Dinamo FIE-N

    Phy Chess has Dinamo FIE-N on sale for $71.25 complete, which is a pretty good price. Anyone used these? Are they any better blades than a standard StM?

    I don't have any experience with the Dinamo FIE-N in particular, but my overall impression is that they're durable blades, a good bit more flexible than StM. They kink up easily, but it's not hard to straighten them out, and blade life is still good.

    I found the StM FIE-N blade to be very similar in feel to their non-FIE blade, I'd expect the same from Dinamo.

    Mine are lighter than a STM blade. I like them a lot better than standard STM. They don't get bad (permanent) kinks, like all of my STM's have. One thing about them that your opponents may not like is that there is a fairly sharp edge to them on the forte.

    My review of that blade is on this page:

    Dinamo FIE-N Epee Blade

    In summary: Light, kinks up easily, blades need to be cleaned really well before use.

    $71.25 + shipping isn't all that cheap. You might as well get a wired LP blade for $75 with shipping. Despite not being FIE certified, they're probably more durable.
