Can someone explain:

It gives one an edge in combat (6)

?A?P?R

The obvious answer is "rapier" but while that might give an edge (advantage) it wouldn't give an edge (sharp side).

"Sabre" would be a better answer, but if course it doesn't fit.

Hi david

Sorry ChrisE. Confused fingers! Should be ?A?I?R.

There is a rapier with a double edged blade
