Distal taper on Feder / Longsword Foil blades.
Hi guys.

Does anyone have any info on the distal taper of these blades other than what is written in the Arma article? Any info on the blade diameters in general?

I just measured mine. It's just slightly more than 1" wide just ahead of the Schilt and 3/16" thick at that point. It tapers down to approximately 1/2" wide by 1/16th" thick at the point. I hope that helps.
Hi Hugh,

Is it a gradual taper over the whole length of the blade or does it taper sharply about 1/3 of the way from the tip?

Hi,

It appears to taper gradually throughout its entire length.
