Fencing weapon (4)

I think it could be either:

epee

foil

(Other definitions for epee that I've seen before include "Rapier" , "Fencing blade" , "Bit of fencing" , "Duelling blade" , "Type of sword" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Guardian, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The New York Times, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
