Electric Foils

[bug]

I'd like to buy my own electric foil blades, but I don't really know what to get. I basically want it to last as long as possible. It doens't really matter how much it costs, as long as it's a good blade, but if it were cheap it would be nice. Any suggestions?

Uhmm..blue gauntlet's Electric foils maybe?

If durability is really your main concern, you want maraging blades. Russian/Ukranian maraging blades (Vniti, STM, Lammet) are probably the best durability for the money in foil blades. Even the more expensive maraging blades (Blaise Freres) will give you
better durability/cost than ordinary steel blades. In the time that a $65 Vniti blade lasts, you'd probably have gone through at least 5 $25 blades.

Since we talking foil blades I tend to agree with David on is selection of blades.

But when it's come sabre buy the cheaps one last just as long as
the more expensive one and are easier to blance.
