Imex Non Electric Foil Blade - Manual Hair Removal Tool for Smooth Skin - Perfect for Home Use, Salon Treatments & Travel

This Imex Non-Electric Foil Blade is an excellent choice for a beginning fencer or a club.

Because this is a non-electric blade, it is supplied with a rubber tip on the end. This makes it good for non-electric bouting and for target practice, but it cannot be used for electrical bouting with a scoring machine.

Blade Length

A shorter blade will be lighter and better balanced, but a longer blade will provide better reach.聽

Some clubs and provincial federations require shorter blades for different age groups. For club requirements, please ask your coach. For rules enforced in tournaments, you can refer to our article on聽.

Blades lengths are identified by a number between 0 and 5. The standard size for teenagers and adults is a size 5 blade. As a general rule of thumb, starting from the length of a standard size 5 blade, every time you go down one size, one inch is subtracted from the length of the blade. For example, a size 2 blade is approximately three inches shorter than a size 5 blade.

Installation and Maintenance

If you are unsure of how to install this blade, please refer to your coach or club armorer.

Rubber tips will eventually wear through, at which point they will need to be replaced. Replacement rubber tips can be found in the聽.
