The blade of a Sabre is flat; in an épée, it is a v-shape; the guard of a Sabre is slightly rounded and extends round to the pommel, covering the knuckles; in épée, it is vaguely bell-shaped. In épée, hits can only be scored with the point of the weapon, whereas the edge can be used as well as the point in Sabre. In épée, if both fencers hit each other simultaneously, both score. In Sabre, the same system of priorities exists as in foil (if you don't know this system, sorry, but it's too complicated to explain in detail here). Finally, épée hits can be scored anywhere on the opponent's body, whereas Sabre hits on the hands and legs are invalid. This is not an exhaustive list, but it covers the main points.

What are the three major weapons in fencing?
The three main weapons in fencing are: 1. SABER Saber involves wearing an electric vest that extends from the neck to the wrists to the waist. All of this area is target. Saber has a large handle, and fencing saber involves slashing at the opponent on the target area, unlike the other two weapons which involve stabbing. 2. FOIL Foilists wear an electric vest without sleeves. All of this is target area. Foil has a small rounded handle. Fencing foil involves stabbing at the opponent on the target area. 3. EPÉE (EH-pay) Epeeists do not wear an electric vest, as the whole body is target, including the feet. Epées have a large handle. Epée fencers stab at the opponent anywhere on the body in order to get touches. All three weapons are the same length, and alike in most ways apart from the ones mentioned above.
