    It really all depends on what kind of blade you like (heavy, flexible, light, etc.). Triplette blades tend to be on the heavy side. My favorite are Leon Paul-France, light and flexible. Plus, my last one withstood almost two years of practice and competition. Of course, there are many less expensive blades available that might be more to your liking.

    Good luck!

    oops! I was thinking of complete sabre price, not blade only, when I stated that price range.
