Sabre suspension system update. Horizontal strap built and added to keep the scabbard from swinging when underway. Hopefully will be testing it out tomorrow.
Buon anno nuovo!

Also, for anyone here needing a spare foil blade, I've ordered 10 true ricasso Italian foil blades, and I would guess I'll have them within a few weeks. They will be $46.50 each (which is my cost per blade including shipping).
