Épée, Individual, Men

Bouts were for three touches or until 20 minutes had elapsed. If the score was tied at the end of 20 minutes, both fencers were credited with a loss. The maximum length of the entire épée was 110 centimetres with the maximum length of the blade being 88 centimetres. The weight of the épée had to be between 450 and 670 grams.

Twenty-nine competitors started in the individual épée event. Seven first round elimination pools were used to narrow them down to 15 semi-finalists, who then fought two pools to determine the six finalists. The Frenchman, Georges de la Falaise, was an easy victor in the final. His teammate, Georges Dillon-Cavanagh, finished second. However, this was only after a fence-off between Dillon-Cavanagh and Félix Vigeveno, Hendrik van Blijenburgh, and Emil Schön, who all tied for second place. De la Falaise was French champion at both épée and sabre.
