Eg, cutlass or foil (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sword

This clue is a double definition.

'eg cutlass' is the first definition.
(I know that Cutlass is a type of sword)

'foil' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sword that I've seen before include "Weapon, often worn ceremonially" , "Bladed weapon" , "Combat" , "Sharp-edged weapon" , "Fencer's weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
