Cavalry Sword

0:0:0 A saber is a curved, single-edged sword designed for use from horseback. It is a common and often symbolic weapon among cavalry units, and in cultures that cultivated them. Combined with the speed and maneuverability of the rider's horse, the saber makes for swift, rapid strikes against isolated enemy infantry.

Battlefield 1
The saber is one of two weapons available for the Cavalry kit. It was first seen in the "Battlefield 1 Gamescom Gameplay" trailer. It can be used while mounted or dismounted from a horse.

While mounted, the rider can reach far to either side to slice infantry. The rider appears to have two "uses" available.

It is not yet known if cavalry carry the saber with them while dismounted, but other soldiers can make use of the saber if taking a horse from the field.
