Angel

The tang is the part of the blade on which the hilt, bell, and nut are mounted. Its length influences balance and handling. Sabers only use a long tang , as this design is required for stability and safety. In foil and épée , however, both short and long tangs are used, depending on the fencer's preference and the desired balance point.

👉 In short: The tang length influences the balance, handling, and personal feel of the weapon. Some top athletes swear by their individual setting, because even small differences can result in a completely different fencing experience.
