Same quality set of supporting parts, but the advantage is that the blade is European-made and keeps its form. The result of a better blade is that the foil maintains its balance and feels so that anytime you pick it up, your hand recognizes it. You can depend on it without a second thought or doubt. Colors vary.

We recommend: children under 8y.o. to use #0 blade; under 11y.o. to use #2 blade. All component used are of high quality and will last for years--only blade and tip might need replacement. Durable weapon for use for beginners and for school and club programs. Child and Youth size #0 and #2 foils have small light guards and pommels. Great weight / balance / flexibility properties.
