Quality blade

I am looking for a foil blade that is relatively stiff through forte and middle with a whippy foible. Any suggestions for any blades that can be easily sourced in UK? thanks!

Try the Vniti. It is a Russian blade with a distinctive dull black bluing kind of like an AK-47 would have. It has good flexibility in the top half and is strong in the forte. Durability’s very good except the bluing will wear off fairly quickly. It is one of the better blades I have used. The only others I can think of are some of the StM blades but they come in a wide range of strength and flex.

You can get the vniti through Triplette, Bladerunners, Sword Masters I think, and probably several others I am not mentioning. It is an FIE blade by the way.

Hope that helps!
