What is an epee??

Submitted by epee55 on Sun, 07/06/2008 at 12:07pm.

Since a few people have asked me::: 

The epee is one of the three modern Olympic Fencing weapons - the others being the foil and sabre.  The blade is about 90cm long and rather stiff.  Unlike the foil and sabre, the entire body is a valid target and there are no "right of way" rules.
