BOOK 3. MATERIAL RULES
PART 1. FENCERS’ WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
CHAPTER 1. WEAPONS
CHARACTERISTICS COMMON TO ALL WEAPONS
m.1. 1. There are three types of weapon: foil, épée and sabre.
2. All weapons are authorised providing only that they conform to these regulations
and to the safety standards which are annexed.
3. The weapon should be so constructed that it cannot normally injure either the user
or his opponent. All methods of treating a blade between the guard and the tip
(button), by grinding, filing or other methods, are forbidden.
4. Sharpening the edges or angles of the point is forbidden.
General description
m.2. All weapons are composed of the following parts.
1. A flexible steel blade completed at its forward extremity by a button and at the
rear by the tang (the latter included in the handle when the weapon is mounted).
2. A handle within which the tang of the blade is fixed by a locking nut or in any
other way, and which enables the fencer’s hand to hold the weapon. It may be
composed of one or several parts: in the latter case it is divided into a grip (which
is normally held in the hand) and a pommel (rear portion of the handle which locks
the handle onto the tang).
3. A metal guard fixed (with the convex face towards the front) between the blade
and the handle, serving to protect the sword hand. For foil and épée, the guard must
contain a padding or cushion (cf. m.5/2) to reduce the effect of blows. It will also
contain a socket to which the bodywire can be connected.
Dimensions (cf. m.7ss, m.15ss, m.21ss)
m.3. Each weapon has its particular design and measurements.
1. The length of the blade includes the button and everything which is added in front
of the convex surface of the guard whether or not it is fixed to the latter.
