Hi, Ii’m Jeff. I’ve been fencing for approximately 30 years. I’ve competed in foil and saber, and studied competition and classical fencing in
foil, saber and epee, rapier and dagger, even a bit of fight direction and
Japanese sword. It was during the years that I was putting my efforts into the
study of rapier that our first product, the Rapier bag was born. I found myself
having to cram a 55 inch-long rapier into my 45 inch-long fencing bag, along
with way too much equipment, and drag it through the streets and subways of New
York, and occasionally through airports, with all the difficulties and
discomfort that you’d expect. I didn’t deliberately set out to design a bag, rather, experience just kept presenting
to me the things that a good carrying bag should have had.
Finally, I teamed up with an expert sports-bag designer, Pedro Hernandez, and
between my rough ideas and experience and his finely-honed knowledge of product
design, our bag was born.
Our goals were to produce a durable, reasonably priced, comfortable bag that
holds everything and carries it in comfort and safety.We have been able to meet all those goals and to offer them to the people
who need them.
In the few years that the bag has been for sale, customer approval has been
amazing! I happily discovered that my experiences and needs in a bag were the
same that fencers all over the world had. And even though we aren’t a big company, we have sold these bags to nearly every corner of the world,
from the Americas, North and South, Western and Eastern Europe as far away as
Russia, and even Australia and New Zealand.
