Point d’Arrets

The primary target for dueling swords (epees) is the hand and arm which may be difficult to hit with a rubber or leather tipped blade. Point d’arrets, or stopping points in English, features three sharpened prongs that catch the jacket or glove’s fabric and simulates penetration into the hand or arm. They are crucial to maintain the proper mentality of a sharpened sword. We sell these points in multiples of three with enough waxed cord to replace them.
