The sabre or saber (see spelling differences) is a sword that usually has a curved single-edged blade and a rather large hand guard covering the knuckles of the hand as well as the thumb and forefinger. Although sabres are typically thought of as curved-bladed slashing weapons those used by the world’s heavy cavalry often had straight and even double-edged blades more suitable for thrusting.
