Cavalry sabers are curved, single-edged swords historically used by mounted troops, designed for slashing attacks while riding at speed. Emerging prominently in the 17th and 18th centuries, these weapons became a standard sidearm for cavalry units across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, valued for their reach, agility, and cutting power. The curvature of the blade allowed for fluid motion and reduced the risk of the sword becoming lodged during combat. Often featuring ornate hilts and engraved blades, sabers also served as symbols of rank and prestige. Though rendered obsolete by modern warfare, they remain enduring icons of military tradition and valor.
