Hello r/fencing. This is a new account so I don’t doxx my usual Reddit username, but I’ve been around this sub for several years.

I’ve been disappointed that fencing weapon testers don’t do what I want (spot intermittent faults and measure resistance through the blade). So I’ve made my own.
It’s compact, tough enough to survive in a fencing bag, helps me keep my weapons in good condition. And it’s orange.

My club mates agree that this is a useful thing, but what do you think? I’ve made a chintzy website here http://protip-fencing.com to see if anyone else wants to buy one.

I’m around and about a bit on the UK tournament scene, so if you want to try one out then I hope we bump into one another!
