Saber

Sabers (刀 dao), a class of Swords (剑)
== Types ==
* Devil Decapitator
* Blooddrinker
* Yanyuedao (偃月刀) / Guandao (关刀): this was a pole saber. Two-thirds of it was the handle, while the blade only took up a third. There was a huge difference compared to the normal sabers he used. However, he had no better weapons now, so he could only use it.
* Zhanmadao
== Sword vs. Saber ==
Using a sword was different from using a saber. A saber relied on brute force, not technique. It relied on using the arm to release the entire body's power.
But a sword was much more refined. It relied on subtle changes and variations. It required wrist strength to control those subtle changes, so it had high requirements in that regard.
There is another subtle difference. Sabers 刀 are usually used for cutting and splitting (like knives chopping food), whereas swords 剑 are typically used for piercing (like arrows piercing targets). But both fall into the general category of sword-like or bladed weapons.
