Great fencing !! What swords do you use?

[@frenchgalloglass5204]

Thank you ! I use an Ensifer Corona, I love it, best sword I ever handled.
I am not sure what Robert is using, it might be a Sigi but I am really not sure

[@SalaCierzoHema]

@@frenchgalloglass5204 Thx for your response! Do you know anything about the new Ensifer feders (Freifechter) ? Is imposible to find any reviews of them, but it seems that the blade is similar to the Korona

[@frenchgalloglass5204]

@@SalaCierzoHema I have never seen the Freifechter in real life unfortunately, so I have no opinion on it. The blade indeed looks a lot like the Corona. Ensifer swords in general are well balanced and super durable, so I assume this one is too :)

I use a Sigi Shorty :)

​@@frenchgalloglass5204 another question about the ensifer: how is in the thrust? Is very stiff? I hearded that ensifer blades are prone to sets, what are your thougths about this?
Thank you for your time!
