'rambo' foil grip - where?

Ah, the joys of proper grammar. Does anyone out there know where I might
find a left-handed foil grip known as the rambo? I know a few fencers who
are using it, but all of their suppliers have since stopped carrying it.

Thanks,

What does this grip look like? I've never seen one before. I'm still
upset that I cannot use a spanish offset grip.

It's spelled "Rambeau". It's sort of a slimmer, less blocky variation on the Russian grip. The
chief problem with it
is that the upper spire has a pronounced inward curve, which tends to dig into the base
knuckle of the thumb and cause
blisters. American Fencers Supply stocks the grip in the U.S. In Europe, Allstar has it
available on their website.

´ Way Cool '

I imagine a grip fitted with a compas (for quick fencing piste orientation),
build-in survival knife and fishing line (hrmm... can't see where that comes
in handy), matches, and finally a detailed mission specification sheet. :-)

The fishing line? That's for really *dedicated* flickers.

After all, you guys have reels and all....
