Yes. If you intend to compete in FIE-sanctioned competitions, you should
buy FIE blades.

You do not need FIE Sabre blades for either World Cups or World Championships.
You do need S2000 Sabre blades.

The only reason I could see to buy FIE Sabre blades is if they will last that
much longer than plain S2000 blades that they would be cheaper in the long run.
And I don't know anyone who uses them who could accumulate enough data to show
that.

There is no reason to buy a FIE Sabre blade matter of fact there is no
approved
process in place to certified a sabre blade to meet fie spec for blade
outside of the S2000 requirement,
