Alternative to a foil or saber (4)

I believe the answer is:

epee

(Other definitions for epee that I've seen before include "sports equipment" , "Fencing sword similar to a foil" , "Foil for riposte" , "Narrow fencing sword" , "Sharp-pointed duelling sword" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
