RE: A brief history on weapons - The Saber
You really got me thinking with this post. I always thought sabers were originally arabic swords, famous Damascus steel and so on. Thank you for me making me a bit smarter today :)
@spalatino The Turks and the Arabs were the ones that finally brought the saber to wider use in Europe especially the Ottoman Turks as they started their expansion into the Balkans. Damascus steel is the process of getting hard steel by mixing iron and carbon the Vikings are suposed to brought it to Europe in the early middle ages.
