We can fully repair any weapon and most equipment at Northwest Indiana Fencing Club, please contact Dale Block or show up at the Club on Monday or Wednesday evening during normal fencing hours to discuss your needs.  We maintain not only the Northwest Indiana Fencing Club weapons, personal weapons for our members but we also do the repairs for both the Homewood-Flossmoor H.S. Fencing Team and the Marian Catholic H.S. Fencing Team

We typically keep a supply of most common blades for Saber, Epee and Foil in stock and can replace blades while you wait.  Rewiring Foil and Epee blades, as well as replacing or repairing Foil and Epee points is an easy task with parts kept on hand for those.  Body and Mask cord repairs are also offered.  Whatever your Armory needs, we can probably help you out.

Please scroll down for links to various equipment suppliers.
