IN MOTU Old School Fencing Saber M1 STRAIGHT

This saber was specially designed by me and is intended to offer a mix of safety and a similarity to historical training sabers. The bells and blades are produced according to my specifications.

The saber's bell is made of 2mm sheet steel. The blade has a triangular cross-section and tapers from the bell to the tip, so it only bends in the last third of the way through the thrust. The M1 CURVED model has a curved blade in the style of Alfred Hutton's fencing books. The tang of the blade has the same dimensions as Olympic blades, which makes our modular construction possible. This allows you to change, upgrade, or customize blades and other parts on the weapon.

Proper use of the blades for competitive fencing is essential. Blade breakages can only be claimed if there is evidence of a material defect within the first four weeks of use.

Fencing blades and fencing weapons may only be used for the practice of fencing in accordance with the rules of the respective national and international federations or the specifications of clubs and schools.
Use by minors: The use of blades by minors must be supervised by a fencing master (trainer).

Foil and épée blades may only be used with a permanently attached tip (electric tip for electric blades or plastic tip for manual blades).

Before each use, the blade must be checked for damage, cracks, or deformation. Damaged blades with cracks or severe nicks must not be used.

Blade bending: If the blade is permanently deformed/bent at an angle of more than 30°, it must no longer be used, as there is a risk of breakage. Such a blade must not be bent back, as it may crack and break during combat.

Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade breakage can lead to high tip speeds and high-energy impacts. Broken blades are known to penetrate protective clothing, potentially with fatal consequences. Fencing weapons may therefore only be used in conjunction with full protective equipment (according to DIN/EN 13567, as amended) to minimize the risk of injury.

Do not touch blades with bare hands to avoid injuries from sharp edges, nicks or splinters.

Fencing blades and weapons should not be modified or tampered with by the user. Repairs or replacement of parts should only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Fencing blades should only be used as complete and properly assembled fencing weapons with compliant handles, bells, and tips to ensure safe handling.

Fencing weapons and blades must be transported in a suitable fencing weapon bag and stored in a safe, dry place to prevent damage or accidents.
