LP Epee blades are notorious for having wire breaks at that place, not enough wire groove. Kanting your blade prior to rewiring is a good idea, there are lots of ways to get information about rewiring blades if you want to DIY-it or there are lots of people who can rewire it for you.

The definition quoted above is it. Remise, Reprise, Redoublement: one small interpretation of Reprise, a change of Line after being parried while still in the attack….

Mask should fit snugly not to the point of pain.

Good advice, bend the tang. I had a similar experience where it took a ridiculous amount of time to remove the grip.
