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.
