There was this one time I was fencing with a friend, I broke their blade in half on accident. I didn't notice it was broken, then I proceeded to start running to him, until he stopped me and told me his blade is broken. Even though it was broken, it was sharp, and at the time I was borrowing the club's equipment (cause I left mine at home), so it was wore down and thin, near death experience 👍
Do you say fencing or play fencing?
Neither; you say "Fence."
To say you participate in the sport of fencing, you say "I fence" or "you fence;" you conjugate the verb "to fence" because "fencing" is a GERUND, a noun derived from a verb. Since soccer is only a noun, not a verb, you would say "playing soccer," not "soccering." Since swimming is a gerund, you would say "I swim," not "I play swimming. You don't need the "do" because to fence is its own verb.

Where can you buy a good fencing sword?
Well, I have been collecting for about 10 years now and I can tell you right now that anything you'll ever find at a fair or oddities shop is nothing more than a nice piece of shiny to look at. Anything using the word "stainless" Is also right out. What you want is high carbon steel. Something that will bend and flex and be able to snap right back to it's original form. I suggest checking out swordbuyersguide.com, they can provide all the info. You need and provide prices as well. I suggest windlass or Darksword for historical European pieces, for Katana Hanwei seems to have The most quality.
