Traditional Craftsmanship

Benjamin Arms builds this foil and the included accouterments to exacting specifications determined by the desired handling characteristics, school of fencing, and aesthetic tastes. We hand-carve shock-absorbing wood for the grip’s core to diminish vibrations from the blade into the hand. Each hand-fit component make a strong and durable foil for consistent and reliable use. Every item in the French Foil Starter Set is crafted to suit your needs.

French FOil Sizing

French foils are built proportionately to the user but also to fit particular training methodology. The included Classical French Foil is customized to the user’s hand size and height. Always consult your instructor for their recommendation for your blade length and grip size. We give our recommendations below. To measure for grip length, measure the hand from the tip of the index finger to the first crease of the wrist. The blade length is proportional to the fencer’s height, but some sizes of blades are not available. In that case its better to choose the closest option rounding up.
