I new to the list and new to fencing. I took a fencing class in college 10+
years ago and decided to try it again now that I'm older (beer, woman, and late
nights won't interfer as much).

I was wondering how many of you set your foil blade's at the tang. I've seen it
in epee, but only remember my college master putting the initial curve in my
blade (not a bend by the tang).

I've had weapons arrive with HORRIBLY set tangs before - and seen students improve 200% after I'd reset the blade to point somewhere useful. We've had too...
