  • The modern fencing sabre ... is no heavier than a foil — up to 500 grams (about 17.5 ounces) in weight—but it is slightly shorter — 105 centimetres (3 feet 5 inches) overall and 88 centimetres (2 feet 11 inches) in the blade. The blade is V-shaped, with cutting edges along its entire front and along about one-third of its back from the tip. It is rigid on its cutting edges but flexible on its flat sides. The handguard curves back to the pommel, protecting the knuckles.

saber
Usage examples
  • In saber, the rules of right-of-way strongly favor the fencer who attacks first, and a mere graze by the blade against the lamé registers a touch with the scoring machine. These circumstances naturally make saber a fast, aggressive game, with fencers rushing their opponent from the moment the referee gives the instruction to fence.
