Triplette Epee Blades

I need to purchase some new epee blades, but I can't afford anything too crazy. Problem is, I've ben fencing with Uhlmann BF blades for a few years and I can't go back to the rest of the crap out there. I was just wondering if anyone knew how the Triplette blades that are "from the same forge" compare to the Allstar and Uhlmann ones?

First Uhlmann BF blades are not made by Uhlmann. They are made by Blaise Frére. You can go to another vendor that sells or brands BF blades or you could go directly to the manufacturer http://www.blaise-freres.fr/. It is a French company and I have not worked directly with them, so I do not know their policy on selling to the public.

As far as I know, The TCA & Uhlmann blades are identical. Its the parts the individual company uses that make the difference.
