A foil is one of the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. It is a flexible sword of total length 110 cm (43 in) or under, rectangular in cross section, weighing under 500 g (18 oz), with a blunt tip.[1] As with the épée, points are only scored by making contact with the tip. The foil is the most commonly used weapon in fencing.[2]
