佩刀

佩刀，又称西洋剑，大部份有弯曲刀身与单面刀锋（因为真实军团使用军刀未必都是单刃刀，所以后来也译佩剑）。原是匈牙利人所使用的武器，使用的历史最早可追溯到西元九世纪前后。多为骑兵所使用，为了方便在马上单手使用，造得轻巧，刀身也尽量造得较长。刀身共有直刀身、微弯刀身、大弯刀身三种。根据FIE剑种说明，现代的运动项目用的佩剑是由十九世纪末海军用剑发展而成的。

17世纪，被称为Sabre的佩剑传入西欧。它们来源于东欧Szabla型佩剑，最早是中世纪时的单刃刀。西欧开始配备这种刀始于匈牙利骠骑兵。^[1]这些骑兵主要作为轻骑兵起到骚扰敌方散兵、蹂躏炮兵阵地和追逐逃兵的作用。17世纪末和18世纪，许多匈牙利骠骑兵逃亡到中、西欧国家并成为当地骠骑兵的中坚。^[2]匈牙利语的“佩剑”----“Szablya”可以追溯至钦察突厥语的Selebe以及匈牙利语的Szab，意为“切”。
