What are the parts of a fencing sword called?

In: Fencing [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are multiple parts of the fencing sword. There is a pommel, that holds almost every part of the sword in place. There is the grip, which one holds the sword with, the guard, which is of varying sizes depending on the weapon, and the blade, the most important part of the sword. If it is an epee or a foil, there will be a tip that will depress at the end of the blade, as well as wires running to the tip.
