Longeur de lame
A shorter blade will be lighter and better balanced, but a longer blade will provide better reach.
Some clubs and provincial federations require shorter blades for different age groups. For club requirements, please ask your coach. For rules enforced in tournaments, you can refer to our article on Régles pour l'équipement.
Blades lengths are identified by a number between 0 and 5. The standard size for teenagers and adults is a size 5 blade. As a general rule of thumb, starting from the length of a standard size 5 blade, every time you go down one size, one inch is subtracted from the length of the blade. For example, a size 2 blade is approximately three inches shorter than a size 5 blade.
Blades stiffness
Some blades are available in different stiffness levels: soft, medium, and hard.
- Hard blades offer excellent precision and are ideal for strong actions, such as parries or beat attacks.
- Soft blades are less likely to break when bent and are well suited for fencers who use flick hits.
- Medium blades provide a good balance between flexibility and precision, they are both responsive and durable.
Please note that each blade is unique, and stiffness can vary from one brand to another, even if the labelled category is the same. To help you, we have measured the precise stiffness of each blade in the "Specifications" section of the product page.
Durability
Even if a blade is described as durable, this does not guarantee it won’t break quickly. Some blades are better suited to specific fencing styles. If a blade doesn’t match your way of fencing, it may wear out or break more quickly.
A blade’s lifespan depends on many factors: frequency of use, intensity of training, fencer’s level, training conditions, and more. As a result, it is not possible to guarantee a precise lifespan.
Finally, a combination of accidental factors can sometimes cause a blade to break very early, even after only a few uses. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely eliminate this risk.
