Sabres

A sabre is a type of sword with a curved, single-edged blade designed primarily for slashing. Historically used by cavalry soldiers and light infantry, it was valued for its ease of movement and effective cutting ability. The sabre features a guard to protect the hand and often has a slightly bent or curved blade to facilitate swift, sweeping strikes. In modern times, sabres are used in fencing competitions and are also featured in ceremonial contexts, symbolizing tradition and martial discipline.
