Well tragedy has struck last night at practice when approximately 3ā broke off the tip of SeelenSpalter!
I was dueling Matt Lawrence (coincidentally enough he is the same guy with whom we broke on the same night my other steel blade and his aluminum blade several months ago). He received his A&A Fechterspiel about three weeks ago and we dueled then several times with no problems. Last night on our third duel I made an opening attack with a typical zornhau without any excessive power or speed and when he blocked it with his own zornhau my tip went flying. I only had this blade just less than 15 months and Iām shocked it broke. I will be calling Mike at Albion today and inquire about this obvious quality issue.
In the meanwhile I am considering on buying an A&A Fechterspiel from KOA since they are in stock at $430.
Oh by the way, I havenāt given my wife the tragic news as of yet so no running your fingers off on the
āBook of Facesā!
