Random information on the term “Epee”:
The Sabre [ pronounced : ˈseɪbə ] (US English : “Saber”) is one of the three disciplines of modern fencing. [1] The sabre weapon is for thrusting and cutting with both the cutting edge and the back of the blade.[2] Unlike other modern fencing weapons, the épée and foil, where the methods of making a hit are scored using the point of the blade.[3]
The informal term “sabreur” refers to a male fencer who follows the discipline. “Sabreuse” is the female equivalent.
“The blade, which must be of steel, is approximately rectangular in section. The maximum length of the blade is 88 cm. The minimum width of the blade, which must be at the button, is 4 mm; its thickness, also immediately below the button, must be at least 1.2 mm.” [4]
The cross-sectional profile of the sabre blade is commonly a V-shaped base which transitions to a flat rectangular shaped end with most blade variants, however this is dependent on the how it is manufactured. This allows the blade to be flexible towards the end. According to regulation, manufacturers must acknowledge that the blade must be fixed horizontally at a point 70 cm (27.5591 in) from the tip of the blade.[5]
