A community for fencing families

Pass the Gear.
Pass the Story.

Your old fencing gear could become someone else's beginning.

How It Works

Outgrown doesn't mean worn out. One fencer's next chapter can be another fencer's first chapter.

01

Give Gear

Upload fencing equipment your athlete has outgrown — and tell its story.

02

Meet the Next Fencer

Fencers and families apply for available equipment. Review who it's for.

03

Pass It Forward

Choose a recipient and help the equipment begin its next chapter.

Gear Looking for Its Next Fencer

Equipment passed forward by the fencing community.

Nothing here yet — but gear is being passed forward every day.

Listings from the fencing community will appear here as soon as they're posted.

Every Piece of Gear Has a Story

This isn't a used-equipment marketplace. It's the fencing community helping the next generation — one story at a time.

My First Competition Mask

I wore this mask in my first regional competition. I've outgrown it now, and I hope another young fencer can create their own memories with it.

The Jacket From My First Medal

This was the jacket I wore when I earned my first medal. It still has years of life in it — I want it to be there for someone else's first big day too.

A Foil That Started It All

This was the first foil I ever owned. My coach picked it out for me. Now it's waiting to meet the beginner who needs it.

The idea behind Fence Forward

Every fencer has a story worth passing forward.

When our founder was six, older fencers at her club passed their outgrown gear to her. Years later, she started passing gear forward too — and asked a simple question: what if the story could travel with the equipment?
