Épée
This article is about the sword. For the founder of public deaf education, see Charles-Michel de l'Épée. The épée is the modern derivative of the original duelling sword, the rapier, used in sport fencing. Épée is French for "sword".The weapon is similar to a foil (compared to a sabre), but has a stiffer, V-shaped blade, has a larger bell guard, and is heavier. The technique however, is somewhat different, as there are no rules regarding priority and right-of-way. In addition, the entire body area is a valid target area. The blade is a concave triangle in cross-section.
