Looks like I'm not making it tomorrow after all. My lady has a kidney stone again.

Most understandable! Please convey my sympathies to thy lady and hope she may pass the stone quickly.

It turns out I ended up with a pretty good headache today, so it's just as well I stayed home.

Sorry you couldn't make it Sunday but glad your lady is feeling better!

I didn't really have a very good day myself. We had a historic society group visit us which was cool. Larry basically put on a demonstration for them of all the weapon types he teaches and asked me to be his demonstration partner for the Longsword, Dueling Epee and Sabre. Everything went fine until we got to the sabre and my blade snapped after a particularly lively exchange! It was a Christmas present from my wife and it didn't last five months!  >:(

 - Larry suggested I inquire from Darkwood Armory about one of their practice Italian blades which run about $150.00 but should last a LOT longer. Larry's Darkwood Armory blade just recently snapped right at the tang a couple of weeks ago and last Wednesday he had the new replacement...in fact it was the one that snapped my blade! ;)

Yeah, you might be pretty happy with their blades. I hear they're pretty resilient.

Do you know what brand your sabre was? The fencing blades (foil, epee, saber) don't last forever, that's for sure. I think I've only broken one once, so I was lucky. Usually you can buy replacement blades and just unscrew the hilt and screw it together on the new one. It might just require cutting the tang to fit.

It was a Hanwei Pecoraro Sabre from KOA, which looks like the raised their prices on them a little bit or the sale is over because they were just under a $100 when my wife purchased mine.  :-\

Ah, I see. The description on KoA says this: "Replacement blades are available"

It looks like the blades are $62.95:
