    Shopping in Paris

    Does anyone know if any fencing shop in Paris carried the Vniti blades ?
    If so can you supply the address or contact details.
    I have already checked out the equipment site and can only find Uhlmann and Allstar suppliers in Paris. Looking specifically for Vniti.
    Thanks

    I don't think you'll find Vnitis in Paris. Most Russian blades in France are brought in by coaches after World Cups there.

    In Paris, you will find Uhlmann/Allstar, Prieur, and Soudet, but I doubt that you will find anything else.

    Unfortunately, we don't have as much independent resellers there than you guys have, so there's not much competition at this point.

    • Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
    • To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial

    Oh well ... I more of less had a feeling that I might not be able to get my hands on some Vniti blades in Paris.
    Thanks for letting me know veeco, guess I will just enjoy the sights, sounds and foods of France.

    Dark Transient, thanks for suggestion too .... but ..er ... I think I will pass on FL this time round, maybe next time.
