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 and Zakhara.
