OK... I'm peeved. Krista broke my favorite saber blade. Boo Hoo! Worst of all is that I can not simply replace it because PBT's website does not offer the exact blade anymore (T Blade- S2003- ultra light). So--any suggestions as to what I should replace it with? I ordered one of the gold t blades that PBT offers, but I can bet right now that it is going to be too heavy. I HATE heavy blades.

Off topic, a little, BUT...
My wife and I just returned from the Texas Renaissance Festival this weekend. In our regular visit to Angel Sword, we were given the opportunity to stroll amongst the true antique weapons.
Nicole/Maupin was handed an 18th Century sabre with a balance so... (for want of another word) sublime... that you had to think about the fact you were HOLDING SOMETHING IN YOUR HAND to feel any weight at all.
I held it myself and was only able to notice the weight after executing a downward cut once the tip passed below my arm's height!
This was a combat sabre, over 200 years old. There is just no excuse for a heavy sport sabre.

Schlager, I can not agree with you more! I'd have enjoyed seeing that weapon, too! Awesome!!!
