The sabre (US English: saber, both pronounced /ˈseɪbər/) is one of the three disciplines of modern fencing.[1] The sabre weapon is for thrusting and cutting with both the cutting edge and the back of the blade[2] (unlike the other modern fencing weapons, the épée and foil, where a touch is scored only using the point of the blade).[2]
The informal term sabreur refers to a male fencer who follows the discipline; sabreuse is the female equivalent.
