\"Arme à poing\" is, at least, a common expression.
\"Arme à pointe\" does get a few Googles, and, obviously, means a \"pointed weapon\" (dagger, sword), possibly specifically an \"arme d\'estoc\", i.e. a thrusting weapon, e.g a rapier or throwing knife as opposed to a sabre or hunting knife.

Unless this does refer specifically to pointed weapons rather then any form of blade, the usual expression would be \"arme blanche\".
