British infantry sword based on the 1796 design (sword, smallsword, spadroon)

Fencing blades and fencing weapons may only be used for the practice of fencing in accordance with the rules of the respective national and international federations or the specifications of clubs and schools.
Use by minors: The use of blades by minors must be supervised by a fencing master (trainer).

Foil and epee blades may only be used with a permanently attached tip (electric tip for electric blades or plastic tip for manual blades).

Before each use, the blade must be inspected for damage, cracks, or deformation. Damaged blades with cracks or severe notches must not be used.

Blade bending: If the blade is permanently deformed/bent at an angle of more than 30°, it must no longer be used, as there is a risk of breakage. Such a blade must not be bent back, as it may crack and break during combat.

Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade breakage can lead to high tip speeds and high-energy impacts. Broken blades are known to penetrate protective clothing, potentially resulting in fatal consequences. Fencing weapons may therefore only be used in conjunction with full protective equipment (according to the latest version of DIN/EN 13567) to minimize the risk of injury.

Do not touch blades with bare hands to avoid injuries from sharp edges, nicks or splinters.

Fencing blades and weapons should not be modified or tampered with by the user. Repairs or replacement of parts should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Fencing blades should only be used as complete and properly assembled fencing weapons with compliant handles, bells and tips to ensure safe handling.

Fencing weapons and blades must be transported in a suitable fencing weapon bag and stored in a safe, dry place to prevent damage or accidents.
