Foible x1000
The part of a sword or foil blade between the middle and point;
a minor flaw or shortcoming in character or behavior; weakness
The weakest part of a sword blade is the portion between the middle and the pointed tip. Back in the mid-1600s, English speakers borrowed the French word "foible" to refer to that most easily broken part of the sword or foil.
