佩刀

佩刀，又稱西洋劍，大部份有彎曲刀身與單面刀鋒（因為真實軍團使用軍刀未必都是單刃刀，所以後來也譯佩劍）。原是匈牙利人所使用的武器，使用的歷史最早可追溯到西元九世紀前後。多為騎兵所使用，為了方便在馬上單手使用，造得輕巧，刀身也盡量造得較長。刀身共有直刀身、微彎刀身、大彎刀身三種。根據FIE劍種說明，現代的運動項目用的佩劍是由十九世紀末海軍用劍發展而成的。

17世紀，被稱為Sabre的佩劍傳入西歐。它們來源於東歐Szabla型佩劍，最早是中世紀時的單刃刀。西歐開始配備這種刀始於匈牙利驃騎兵。^[1]這些騎兵主要作為輕騎兵起到騷擾敵方散兵、蹂躪炮兵陣地和追逐逃兵的作用。17世紀末和18世紀，許多匈牙利驃騎兵逃亡到中、西歐國家並成為當地驃騎兵的中堅。^[2]匈牙利語的「佩劍」----「Szablya」可以追溯至欽察突厥語的Selebe以及匈牙利語的Szab，意為「切」。
