Could someone please give me the pro's and con's for this on foil and epee. I know that it's expensive, but it was recommended to me by Terry Unrein

Epee is a heavier weapon; foil is lighter. There is a full body target area in epee. Foil and sabre have a limited target area, therefore you must have a lame. Epee is decided on the 1/25th of a second when the lights come on. Foil and sabre depend on referees and right-of-way rules.
I am a died in the wool epeeist... So I must now say that "Foil is art, Sabre is theatre, but Epee is TRUTH!"
(I'll also sell you a first brand-new Epee and body cord for really cheap if you wanna get into the best weapon. Let me know as I am liquidating my stock now and getting out of the supply business.)

1) What about Schermasport are you asking? Is it their body cord connector, their tip designs, what?
2) Longblade - I've been thinking I ought to pick up an epee. How much are you talking?

Chris,
What are you asking about? Are you comparing blades or body cords? You already know the three weapons.
Kyle, now you have saber fencers thinking about picking up the true weapon. YOU ARE THE MAN!

Please forgive me. I was talking about the screwless tip, and didn't know that they made me anything else.
Long Blade, could you please PM me your contact info and catalog info.
Thanks

Long Blade, could you please PM me your contact info and catalog info. Thanks Done. Look at your PMs. I don't have a catalog. I have a few complete weapons in stock or can custom build you one if you prefer.
