[crossfirex]

I notice sabers are activated int he game, but are sabers implying something like fencing? I don't exactly get what they are.

We're all thinking it...

Light sabers...


No but something like a scimatar classes towards a saber.

It's typically a heavier curved blade. In this context, heavier than a Katana, but lighter than a heavy weapon.

Cavalry Sabers are probably the most well known.
Quite fancy if I do say so myself.

The only difference between those and a Cavalry Saber is that the Cavalry Sabers are more flashy around the hilt. Brasswork, etc. Well, and the bump.

That will clear it up,

The cavelry sabre is a solid curve.

EDIT: WOOO PAINT!

I'm impressed with your paint skills.

Are you sure that the bumps in the metalwork are intentional and not just the result of bad craftsmanship?

Fencing would be a rapier, estoc, or side sword. Something very long and thin often with two sides to be used predominately with thrusting attacks against armored opponents. You could considered those Dueling Swords if you want a distinction.

The sabers in this game are more in the Chinese Broadsword category. The ringed ones were actually used to catch and break polearms.

I'm sure, it was hammered that way to create a quicker, and more devastating blow

And.. my pain skills Are awesome

I see, so it'll be those kind of sabers. Cool.
