Epee blades

**scarfe** · 02-23-2003 06:01 PM

Dear Sirs and ladies:

I am wondering if you may help with a query I have. I have recently picked up epee after being a foilest for a number of years and would like to know what the strongest and stiffest epee blade is, I know that vniti produces one of the stiffest foil blades, do they produce the same sort of epee blades? and if not are their stiffer epee blades produced? I am not concerned with whether or not the blade is maraging, nor is the price from the stockist an issue. I thank all for your time and consideration.

Thank you,
Dorian Bashaw

I have a Vniti epee and -- oh, yeah -- it's stiff.

Since epee isn't my main weapon, I don't have the broadest range of experience, but it's the stiffest thing I've ever used or faced.

It's black, heavy and stiff as a board. Further, after two years of intermittent use, it hasn't loosened up much at all.

So while I can't confirm that there's none stiffer, I doubt you'll be disappointed by the Vniti blade. Hope that helps.

Hello, I am an epeeist, and I have some experience with a few blades. The best ones I've tried are made in Germany, so stick with those.

Which blades, aside from WKC, are made in Germany?
