From the early beginnings of ‘hits’ to the electric jacket, fencing is a sword-fighting art that remains timeless. The advent of the use of firearms on the battlefields, shifted the use of “cold-steel” weapons to the sporting arena; thereby crossing over from an offensive- to a more defensive function - that of protecting and shielding oneself from the opponent - as described in the origins of the terminology “fencing”.
Franchini Blades was born to supply high-quality blades to fencers, achievable only through a deep understanding of the fencing athletes’ needs. Franchini Blades is the perfect blend of Alberto Franchini’s 20-years of sporting experience, and his technical expertise gained in the family-owned mechanical-steel forging company, Franchini Acciai Spa.
Franchini Blades are made of Maraging steel – a metal alloy of Iron, Nickel and Cobalt that provides exceptional hardness with superb flexibility. Through the process of hammer-forging the blades reach a quality of excellence that makes them simultaneously resilient and flexible.
Finished by hand, our blades obtain perfect balance, achieved through strict manufacturing- and internal quality control processes that meet the most stringent standards of the Federation Internationale D'Escrime (FIE), through the use of uniformly homologated machinery.
