Blade gets record points (4)
I believe the answer is:
epee
'blade' is the definition.
(epee is a kind of blade)
'record points' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'points' becomes 'ee'.
'ep'+'ee'='EPEE'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for epee that I've seen before include "Fencing sword, heavier than a foil" , "Pointed weapon" , "It may offer riposte" , "Fencing blade" , "Olympic event" .)
