Ultralight Sabre Guard

On the plus side the guard is really light and feels great combined with a light blade.



Unfortunately the edges do tend to "chip" fairly easily over a few weeks and as a result you're left with a lovely sharp serrated edge!



Other than the edge the guard is very durable and keeps its shape better than some of the "heavyweight" guards.



With a rolled edge this would be the perfect guard.

I know some people who love these guards, and use them excusively. However, they only last about a year, so they have to replace them like they were disposable. Invariably, they break at the bottom third by the pommel after crashing into another fencer's guard a sufficient number of times.



On the plus side, they're light. Honestly though, I can't tell if they're any lighter than the average Leon Paul guard when I'm fencing with them.



I would just stick with the regular guards.

I have used this guard for a while now and i love it!!!!

it may scratch and nick easy but i told them i wanted a LIGHTWEIGHT

guard.........and that is what i got ...very very light

I bought this guard about a month ago, and I have to admit that I had absolutely no problem with the guard. The guard is slightly lighter than the \"normal\" ones, a slight advantage.

On that note, I think the guard is pretty durable. Of course it has some scratches, but as you all know, they are inevitable. I fenced a beginner once and got a few guard-locks, but it certainly did not break

i was using the Pod sabre with this guard the first day i got it and it was just destroyed. its still useable, but there are dents like everywhere. think of the hulk punching a huge metal door and you'll get some kind of picture. some parts of the edges has become jagged, so i had to grind em off for safety reasons. hugely disappointed...even my cheaper sabre guards handle more things than this.
