A long narrow two-edged sword with a guarded hilt (6)

I believe the answer is:

rapier

(Other definitions for rapier that I've seen before include "Thin sharp sword" , "Straight narrow sword with two edges" , "Straight sword with narrow blade" , "fencing equipment" , "Fine-bladed sword" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
