BF Foil Blade (FIE Maraging)

A premium BF foil blade in FIE maraging steel, available in unwired and wired variations with high-quality German-made point, barrel, and wire components on the wired option.

The BF Foil Blade from Blaise Freres is one of the standard choices for serious competitive foil fencers. Built from maraging steel and FIE certified for competition, BF blades are trusted by top athletes worldwide for their balance, feel, and consistency.

Compared with a standard non-FIE foil blade, an FIE maraging blade is a premium upgrade. Maraging blades cost more, but many fencers and coaches prefer them because they tend to last longer, resist deformation better, and stay more consistent over time than standard non-maraging steel blades.

BF has long been one of the most familiar and respected names in competitive foil. These blades are commonly recommended by coaches and are widely used by fencers who want proven performance at a high level.

We offer this blade in unwired and wired variations. Our wired option uses high-quality German-made point, barrel, and wire components from Fence With Fun (FWF). Both our unwired and wired foil blades come with an uncut tang, making them ready for French grip builds and easy to cut down for pistol grip setups if needed.
