When I first held it, I knew that this was better than anything I've tried. I've tried BFs and Leon Paul FIEs but they don't really come close to this. (Maybe the BF batch that I tried wasnt good but I don't really know what batch is good). The balance is really much closer to the guard, meaning that its light, and very nimble (unlike Leon Paul FIEs which are even lighter but has a balance right in the middle of the blade its rather unwieldy). This blade is a real joy to use. Coupled with a lightweight guard, it feels damn good. Very sturdy and no matter how much I tried to lunge at too-near distances, fleche too close to my opponent, the blade never bends upwards. Its really solid, yet I still can flick with it. Recommended!
