Yataghan

The yataghan was a type of one-handed sword, closely related to the sabre.
==Description==
It featured a broad blade with one edge, slightly curved inward.
==Weaponology==
It was made in a way that emphasized the natural movement in a slashing attack, while the weight of its somewhat broader front half made downward cuts especially effective. It could be wielded about as fast as a bastard sword when used one-handed.
==Use==
The yataghan was in use in the lands of Kara-Tur, Zakhara, and among the Tuigan.
==Appendix==
===Notes===
This weapon is based on the yataghan that was used in Turkish culture.
