Fencing Equipment Suppliers and Vendors

A vendor being listed here does NOT mean that they're being endorsed by the Beaches Sabre Club. If you haven't heard of 'em and you're unsure, don't order from 'em.

My own advice is, unless you have personal experience with the vendor, or know someone who has personal experience with the vendor: don't purchase anything you haven't laid eyes on...

Finally, don't hand over your money until you have seen the goods.

The following ARE endorsed suppliers. We know them well and have done well by them in the past:

All-Star Fencing Equipment - Herbert is a good guy and will take good care of you. This contact is for the best in competition grade equipment.

PBT Fencing - It isn't exactly nearby, but this is an excellent alternative to All-Star; especially since France-Lames is now toast. These guys really have the best deal for quality shoes (even after shipping from Europe).

Fleche.com - If you are just starting, you cannot go wrong shopping here. The have great entry level stuff and rock bottom prices. This stuff won't pass if you want to go to the Olympics, but until then this stuff is great. We have a small consignment at Salle d'Armes and we can get most anything else here inside of a week.

THESE OTHER SITES ARE LISTED ONLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. WE DO NOT ENDORSE THESE COMPANIES OR HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES. SHOP AT YOUR OWN RISK.
