    Epee Wires

    Does anyone know of a vendor that sells the appropriate double insulated [epee] wire in lengths of 10m or more, aside from Leon Paul? The Leon Paul insulation tends to strip a little easily, and I'm hoping to find a slightly more durable kind of wire. Unfortunately, no one seems to sell just the wire, and I haven't had a chance to run down to my local electrician's/hardware store to see if they carry it.

    If your just looking for the wire, I can help.

    One problem: mine is not double insulated. It's triple insulated.

    Here is the web site to go to: http://sword-masters.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=1384

    Be sure to let me know if you want red or blue when ordering. Put it in the comment section.

    Just an FYI: red is my favorite.

    Gary's wire is the BEST out there, hands down. I've used nothing else on my foil wires since 2005.

    One day I'll have enough money to have a supply made in purple!
