Product Description This is the most inexpensive foil. Actually a viable foil, though priced like a party favor. It differs from Budget Foil above two ways. The guard is thinner (will dent/bend easily), but here is part of an overall lowest possible price package. The large hexagonal pommel nut still provides the counterbalance to a Chinese blade, but the handle is a hard plastic one, not the easy to grip all-rubber one that is standard with all other models. Blade may be electric, with a dummy metal point (which is an alternative to a practice blade.) Colors vary.

This weapon gives exactly what it advertises- a low-budget practice foil.
It's not at all a quality item, and feels just as cheap as the price tag. There are simply better swords out there.
However, chances are none of them will run as cheap as this one. Its low price is actually pretty charming if you're just looking for the practice tool that's the easiest to get your hands on. It's a good choice for those with no immediate plans to compete, if your pockets aren't deep enough to invest in something better.
