Dueling swords are a type of fencing weapon used in sport fencing. The three most common types of dueling swords are the epee, RAPIER, and SABER. The epee is a thrusting weapon with a triangular cross-section and a large bell guard. The RAPIER is a long, slender, sharply pointed sword designed for thrusting and cutting. The SABER is a curved, single-edged sword with a large hand guard. All three types of dueling swords are used in fencing competitions.
