The shop was set up in 1998 by Bruce Dickinson the lead singer of the rock group Iron Maiden. The ownership has changed hands since then. A few years ago giving up on importing Allstar equipment, Duellist launched its own brand, much of it turning out to be remarkably low quality. Combined with the lack of reliability this has put many fencers off, even though the idea of an alternative to Leon Paul dominance did appeal to many people.
Things have improved in the last couple of years and quite a few people who make it to Isleworth are impressed by the friendly and helpful staff.

Good for: Poping in after visiting the hairdressers down the road.

It's a shame that: The rubber French grip handles cannot keep the shape while their steel insides destroy the wiring under the guard.

Duellist are generally excellent on price, particularly if you join their membership scheme - however they are less excellent on stock control. For high end jackets and breeches in particular it is very much pot luck whether they have what you want - and if they dont it may take several months for what you want to arrive.

I'm not a big expert on blades, etc but I do know that if the handle falls off the bad within two months use - there might be a quality problem! The jacket however still lasts (2 years).
