| Personally, I wouldn't. I am not a big fan of deception, unless its a good disengage.

| I think it's pretty clear by now that you shouldn't. Unless you're working for them.

My gut feel -- and it's NOT because I sell gear myself -- is that they're BOTH Stan's companies.
My own experience in trying to purchase supplies from Stan left a very bad taste in my mouth for the guy. | |

| yep, my experience was less than satisfactory. They both look like his type of site. I'd stick with the vendors that I posted.

Yes, Santelli has nice gloves. They are made of deerskin leather, but are still durable. They are more comfortable than the Uhlmann/Allstar gloves. Their uniforms are well made as well.
TCA uses the the most popular blades in the world. They sell the Blaise Freres blades at the best price in the US.

| I would not buy anything from Blade. I personally think Stan is a criminal and would rather buy my fencing equipment from a guy selling it out of his trench coat on the sidewalk.
Sorry for being negative. 
p.s. There is a regular poster on this site buy the name of Sam,he sells equipment. You might want to check out his site.
