Description

StM epee blades are manufactured with a wide base for optimum weight apportionment, allowing the fencer to "feel" the point and manipulate the weapon easily, which is of special importance for professionals. Symmetry with respect to the wire axis is ideally preserved in all blades.

Features

A standard rigidity test established by the SEMI FIE Technical Commission using an 80 gram weight gives the bend of 45 to 55 mm for epee blades.
Epee blades are manufactured with a long 170 mm grip for French handle or a short 70 mm pistol grip.
StM-FIE and StM-FIE N labeled blades have been certified by the SEMI FIE Technical Commission; they are officially registered by the FIE International Fencing Federation and recommended for usage in any official competitions including World Cup stages, World Championships and the Olympic Games.
StM-FIE ("maragen") blades were first homologated in 1999. At the beginning of 2000 these blades confirmed their highest quality during the next homologation. The average value of cyclic wear at the first homologation was , while at the second homologation it was 21 043 cycles, which is more than three times better than the FIE normative requirements.
StM-FIE N blades were homologated in April, 2000, with the average value of cyclic wear of 18 143. It is 2.5 times higher than the FIE norm and even higher than similar characteristics for most companies manufacturing blades of "maragen" steel! The blades were awarded SEMI FIE commission certificate # 0002 dated 13.07.2000.
