Patton's instructions for using the 1913
saber rapier
small sword epee …
There, FTFY. :-)
"The saber, Model 1913, is two-edged. All the front edge, and half the back edge, is sharp, so that it may be more easily withdrawn from a body, and also, on rare occasions, used to cut”
That’s not actually a how a ‘saber’ works. It’s all point work.
(well they actually were far better served in combat by ditching the horses and picking up springfields, in the end.)
