Last weekend's Oceania Under 20s Fencing Competition was a blast! 🤺

We had an amazing time being there to support all the talented fencers and provide our top-notch service of repairing fencing gear and last-minute purchases of fencing equipment. It was a pleasure to assist everyone and contribute to the success of the event.

We would like to share some feedback we received from Andrew, one of the participants' parents:

"As an adjunct, I just wanted to express my thanks to you for the effort you consistently put into attending and supporting so many out of town fencing events, especially with the logistics involved with equipment. You’re extremely generous with your time and skills. It is noticed and definitely not taken for granted"

We're thrilled to have been part of this fantastic event and to have helped the fencers perform at their best. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and showed their support. We look forward to serving you again in the future!

There are so many options when it comes to purchasing Fencing gear. We always advise our customers to look for well-known brands because they value quality and performance.

Here’s an example of FIE Fencing masks:

According to FIE rules, the mesh of fencing masks should be made with stainless steel material. Please note there are 2 types of stainless steels - Ferritic (magnetic due to high concentration of iron) and Austenitic (not magnetic since the iron is alloyed with nickel, magnesium, carbon & nitrogen).

In the video you’ll see the first mask is a FIE mask made with carbon steel (doesn't meet the FIE rules) which holds the magnet. The other masks are made with different types of stainless steel which makes them less magnetic. It also means that they’re more rust resistant and strong.

Time to lift these boxes to reuse ♻️ 📦

Here at Mainland Fencing, we do our best in being more sustainable by using recycled materials to package and ship out our fencing sporting goods. This lightens our carbon footprint as well as saving you some packaging & shipping cost!

2 fencing masks & foil from 1930 were donated to Wellington Swords Fencing club by a lady who had these in her possession over the years. She recalled these were from a family member who fenced in University of Canterbury.

The foil was made by Coullaux & Cie
Klingenthal, France. They were blademakers, fourbisseurs (cutlers) and military sword manufacturers. The production of fencing blades and weapons began in 1850, and the Coulaux operators also exported their fencing blades to fourbisseurs and fencing supply houses such as Castello Fencing Equipment Co. of the United States and Souzy de Lacam of France. The Coulaux-run Klingenthal forge shut down on February 1st, 1962 after forging fencing sword blades for 112 years.

The foil is a # 4 blade kblade length 34", which is suited for fencer with the height of 66"-70".

It would be amazing to have a glimpse of what fencing in New Zealand was like during 1930s. If anyone has insight or fencing weapons from the past, please share with us 🤺
