📚 Sabre, noun. 🔉 /ˈseɪbə/ 🇬🇧 ❓ Definition: A heavy cavalry sword with a curved blade and a single cutting edge. ❗️ Examples: 1. Police sabers, cavalry sabers, European-type dress swords and other non-traditional blades are outside the scope of this discussion. 2. Further support of this theory is demonstrated in the Battle of Balaclava where the sabers of the cavalry had little or no effect through heavy clothing. 3. The design of the sabre came from the cutting sword used by cavalries. 4. They want to dominate Europe by bureaucratic cleverness where they could not do so by muzzle-loading cannon, muskets and cavalry sabers. 5. The blades were usually double-edged and up to 90 cm, or a little over, in length, but early single-edged sabres are also known. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
