Complete Italian Standard Foil.
Posted by Burbank Jung on 22nd Apr 2014
I owned a ricasso italian foil before and was grateful to find the Fencing Post offering it at a reasonable price.
Two details need to be mentioned. First, the white grip is not smooth, as it appears on the photo but checkered. I would prefer a dark colored grip like my original italian foil but I can settle for the white grip. Second, the foil is offered is not ambidexerous like my original foil. Instead, the italian foil offered by the Fencing Post is either right or left handed because the guard turns the blade by a slight degree. Currently, no mention is made of this. I would have preferred an ambidexerous grip but still prefer having this foil than settling with one with a french grip.
