Fencing swords (5)

I think it could be either:

epees

foils

'fencing swords' is the definition.
(epee is a kind of fencing sword)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for epees that I've seen before include "weapons" , "what can be seen on the piste" , "Fencing swords" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Sun, the Universal, The Mirror, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
