epee
Duelist's blunted blade
An epee is a fencing sword with a stiff, narrow blade and a blunted tip.
Unlike the foil or sabre, the epee allows touches anywhere on the body, making it the weapon closest to actual dueling.
The word comes from French for sword.
She won gold in the individual epee event.
