Scuola Mista Foil

The scuola mista, or mixed school foil was designed for use in the northern Italian system of fencing which incorporated elements of French fencing theory. The blade's length remained Italian, though the Italian hilt assembly and quillions were removed in favor of a French grip. The guard was circular and dished shaped. What characterized these scuola mista foils was a loop of rounded steel fit inside the curvature between either the index or middle fingers. This gave great control over the weapon and mimicked in its small way the traditional hilt design of an Italian foil while also integrating the dexterity of a French grip.

The scuola mista foils produced by Benjamin Arms are a static product and will not run out of stock. They have our spun circular guard, a #5 foil blade and a steel martingale. Both an ambidextrous or flared French grip is appropriate for a Scuola Mista foil. Pad color and pommel type (conical or faceted urn) are customizable to the user. 

This weapon also provides a $15 discount towards a hand-made Three Weapon Bag, normally priced at $64.95 and a 15% discount towards a Practice Target!
