Saber - definition of Saber in Encyclopedia (220 words)
The sabre (or saber) is a European backsword with a distinct curvature and a rather large hand guard, covering the knuckles of the hand as well as the thumb and forefinger.
The origins of the sabre are somewhat unclear, and it may come from designs such as the falchion or the scimitar (shamshir).
Originally, the sabre was used as a cavalry weapon that gradually came to replace the various straight bladed cutting sword types on the battlefield.
