Fleche Electric Epee Blade

It is a fair practice weapon that lasts a few months. My son, 11, has broken at least 3 in last two years, while I broke another 4 (bouting once a week) over the same period. Don't even think of putting a sweaty glove or uniform in the same bag, they rust easily. The blades are heavier than other comparable blades but overall, I like their balance. They are not too stiff but are not as flexible as others. Their finish is adequate for the price. Complete weapons typically also have tips/barrel that are not very durable. A better value would be any BF blade.
