Sold as singles.
Our Lightspeed blade is 3/4" OD, and 35-3/4" long. 3/4" is the safest, fastest blade on the market for light-based fencing.
You will need an adapter piece to fit a 3/4" blade into a 1" ID hilt (standard size for most hilts on the market). If you do not have one you may purchase one from Lightspeed.
Please be aware that we do not guarantee the lifespan of any of our blades. They are durable, but not designed to last as long as thicker, heavier blades, and they will break instantly if struck hard enough. Watch your power!
USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your blades lasting as long as possible, we recommend the following:
All blades break eventually. But focusing on timing, technique, and strategy, rather than power and speed, will keep your blade lasting a long time.
Avoid attacking with a lot of power at the hands and/or hilt. 90% of blade breaks occur while striking the hilt, which is made of sturdy aluminum.
Avoid carrying or picking up your saber from the blade tip. This may stress the blade at the emitter. Always hold and carry the saber by the hilt.
We recommend wrapping the tip in clear tape and refreshing that tape periodically. Tape helps prevent the tip from flying far away once it breaks.
While not necessary, if you wish to clean your blade, gently rub steel wool onto it to take off dyes left from armor and padding.
