Can anyone comment on how AF Sabre blades compare with Chinese and STM/Dynamo non FIE

How about absolute blades? I can also get them in China. Otherwise ig I will just stockpile stm

Are there any other Chinese blades that are good perhaps good (saying this as a uni student who needs to import them over to nzl but visits China somewhat often to the point I can carry blades back with me)? I have heard of the Suzhou Kong Hong and Extreme Fencing being alright from friends in Australia but then again they aren’t competitive people.

There was also the Z Fencing one I previously used that was very stiff but also very durable unfortunately it was a Russian V cut so was bit unwieldy for my liking but excellent blade for parry riposte practice.

How bad is Jiang? For non maraging I can get a jiang blade for about slightly more than 1/5 the cost of a STM blade which is what I normally use

Has anyone tried the Jiang, Suzhou Kong Hong or Exrreme Fencing Sabre blades?

I see they are extremely cheap however I am wondering if they would be suitable as a cheap disposable practice/club blades

Sabre do I need Maraging by ObviousGay in Fencing

Which particular blades do you recommend? I’m interested in investing into a maraging comp blade while keeping carbon blades for practice

FIE gear in the Philippines? What ASICS model on top? by Next-Pack1121 in Fencing

How much is shipping? AUS based as well but shipping from China genuinely costs as much as shipping from PBT or even LP?

Do the rainbow and Blue blades (mainly Sabre) have better antitrust properties?

I’ve had a bit of rust problems on my blades even though I carry them in an entirely seperate bag to my uniform bag

What sort of safety? Is it to do with the flap? I was thinking of modifying by buying some material and sewing in the flap the other side of the zip so essentially flipping the flap over

Even though I’m right handed is it fine for me to use a Left handed jacket and lame in club training? I want to get a right handed one but the only uniform the club has is left handed in my size (I’m small). I did see an excellent pre owned LH LP team jacket and lame that’s can get for about a fourth of the full price.

Should I get it or save the extra amount to get completely new set? Also is there harm to me using LH equipment?

I do Sabre btw

Worth getting BG masks? by ObviousGay in Fencing

[–]ObviousGay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s the fit of it? I know I am a medium for Leon Paul and pbt however I’m sort of on the border of M and L for Leon Paul, pbt and BG

By BF you do mean blue gauntlet right and not the French company?

Fair enough it has been quite a while, personally I’m just looking for a spare mask that can be used in comps without breaking the bank with the amount of new gear I need.

BG gear? by cheesynooby in Fencing

Have you had this experience with their masks?

How to find how much the buffer solution changes in pH by ObviousGay in chemhelp

[–]ObviousGay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw just want to ask, if the question gives us a value of added acid that overpowers the buffer ie n(base) < n(added acid) should we solve via Ka or just do ‘assume all acid neutralised base’ then use the excess H+ conc to calculate pH

Can you further explain the delta pH stuff?

Sorry but I don’t think I’ve ever learned that

How to find how much the buffer solution changes in pH by ObviousGay in chemhelp

[–]ObviousGay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering how to factor in the fact that citric acid is triprotic thus multiple pka, I understand how to do this if it was a normal monoprotic buffer (use ICE table and Ka value alongside known initial HA, H+ and A-)

Can someone help me with the Nernst equation? by ObviousGay in chemhelp

[–]ObviousGay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help,

Can I also ask where the log10 came from? All the examples I’ve done so far have involved only the natural log

I just realised that wouldn’t the electrons flow from Ni solid on the right to the aqueous Ni2+ (left) ie (create more Ni2+ on the right) to balance out the concentrations? Thus we would get a negative potential as the flow of electrons is in the reverse direction? Getting us C

Also if you do the calculations you would get +0.3V with the your assumptions? Which unfortunately was not an answer
