An '''epee''' is an Olympic [[fencing]] [[sword]] with a bowl-shaped [[guard]] and a long, narrow, fluted [[blade]] that has no cutting edge and tapers to a blunted point. A cross section of the [[weapon]] shows that the blade is triangular in shape. Due to its thickness, the blade is more straight and harder to 'whip' than the [[Fencing Foil\|foil]].
