Blade stiffness

edit

This should be updated. Since the blades were stiffened in 2000, they are technically stiffer than epee blades. If you put one on a gabarit, they are allowed less deflection.

The Principle of Sabre

edit

"Sabre, unlike epee or foil is about distance, timing, and bladework." It says in the article. So in Foil and Epee you don't care about distance, timing and bladework?:)
