A saber is the oriental weapon par excellence. Its stylized single-edged blade curves regularly from its first third.
The saber is designed for cutting and has been commonly used in cavalry, although it is not the exclusive property of horse troops.
Among the functional oriental sabers, we can highlight the Arab scimitar, which in the West is used to refer to any Muslim or oriental curved sword.
Another prominent type of oriental saber is the katana, a powerful Japanese weapon of exceptional beauty.
