Not every curved sword is a Sinister Scimitar. In fact, the sabre or saber in the hands of a Western-style cavalryman or Cavalry Officer is the ultimate sign of daring and panache. This trope probably reached its cultural peak during The Napoleonic Wars, in which sabre-wielding light cavalry called Hussars captured the imagination of the people with their braided hair and moustaches, flamboyant uniforms, and death-or-glory attitude in battle — something that modern works love to depict. Compared to the Royal Rapier and its cousin the smallsword, which are most famous as civilian weapons, a sabre more emphatically marks its wielder as a professional soldier. For much of Western European history, curved swords such as the saif, shamshir, and tulwar have been associated with a barbarous "other", while in the east they were often seen as no different than any other blade. The mingling between East and West in the 17th century gave it a more positive image in the rest of Europe and beyond. In period pieces depicting the 18th or 19th century, a man in uniform was deemed attractive and characters of this stripe are often The Casanova or Casanova Wannabe. There might be some overlap with Miles Gloriosus, as they are often big braggarts who exaggerate their already impressive exploits. They also have a tendency to get into duels because any slight made to their honor is deemed unforgivable without retaliation. Another possibility is that he is an Officer and a Gentleman in the mold of Stonewall Jackson or George Armstrong Custer. Soldiers can come from either a gentlemanly or common background, but what they have in common is that the sabre gives them some extra swagger through its association with military service and glory, whether earned or not. This trope has variations. The similar cutlass does not enjoy quite the same status because of its association with rough sailors and pirates. Short-curved swords such as the grosse messer and falchion can apply in some circumstances but are often separate. The user of a Suave Sabre does not necessarily have to be of Western origin, but usually at least belongs to a country that has adopted Western-style uniforms, weapons, and tactics as a result of or in reaction to European colonialism. Related to Katanas Are Just Better, which is more or less the Japanese version of this trope - katanas had a very similar military role and cultural impact to European sabres, especially during the chaotic Bakumatsu period of the late nineteenth century (when 'what would win - a sabre or a katana?' often became a relevant and pressing question). See also Heroes Prefer Swords which this trope handily goes with. Examples |

At first, Antoine D'Coolette from Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) isn't too different from his Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) self, but after a whole heaping dosage of Character Development and Took a Level in Badass, he's become a very capable swordsman and now puts his saber to much better use, fully cementing his growth as a character. | |

While the Gerudo in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild prefer common scimitars, their champion Urbosa had an ornate saber to match her dignified personality and status. Link can get replicas of it later on, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom depicts Riju following Urbosa's example by wielding two sabers. | |

In North and South (U.S.), when he's at West Point Orry fights Jerkass upper-class cadet Bent in a sabre match, beating Bent after a dramatic fight. When George asks him where he learned to handle a sabre like that, Orry tells him that his father had him take lessons growing up because he felt that every Southern gentleman should know how to handle a sabre. | |

The portrait of General Francois Fournier-Sarloveze, by Antoine-Jean Gros, 1812 in the Musee du Louvre shows the subject posing with his saber in elaborate Hussar uniform. A turbulent man and rabid duelist known as "the worst subject of the Grande Armee", he was the inspiration for Feraud in Conrad's The Duel and Ridley Scott's The Duellists. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), Antoine wields a sabre as part of his royal 19th century "Officer and a Gentleman" design and fancies himself a heroic, intelligent, and dashing Freedom Fighter much like the typical image of sabre-wielding heroes in uniform. Most of the time, however, he's a pompous and rude Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey who often prefers to stand back rather than face danger. | |

Berserk: Griffith, the charismatic leader of the Band of the Hawk, is a Master Swordsman who uses an elegant saber in battle. It suits the fact that he is equally in his element at a fancy ball and on the battlefield, able to blend into Blue Blood society with his charm but never forgetting that he is first and foremost a soldier. Serpico was a sabreur when Guts first met him, a seemingly harmless dandy and errand boy for Farnese whose Obfuscating Stupidity conceals a sharp tactical mind. He's the bastard son of a nobleman and a member of the Holy Iron Chain Knights, except unlike most noble sons in that largely ceremonial regiment he's a master with his weapon. That's partly owing to the numerous duels he fought on Farnese's behalf when they were younger. |

The Legend of Zelda: Subverted in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with the villain Ghirahim. He's a stylish, classy-acting demon who wields a saber in battle, but turns out to be very Ax-Crazy and as the game goes on, stays just a hair away from completely losing it. In the final battle, he ditches his saber for a two-handed claymore to hack with. While only shown in game art, Tetra from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker also counts as this trope as she is shown having a cutlass, a rare variation. In Hyrule Warriors she is a DLC character and is actively wielding this cutlass in battle with many upgrades to enhance her fighting style. While the Gerudo in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild prefer common scimitars, their champion Urbosa had an ornate saber to match her dignified personality and status. Link can get replicas of it later on, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom depicts Riju following Urbosa's example by wielding two sabers. |

In the finale of Hawkeye (2021), Jacques Duquesne (also known as the Swordsman in the comics) fully cements himself as a good albeit misunderstood guy by pulling out a saber and engaging in combat to defend himself and his former fiance's daughter against members of the Tracksuit Mafia. Even acting like a swashbuckler by taunting his enemies and applying a little bit of Sword and Fist. | |

Shovel Knight features Propeller Knight, a dashing and roguish airship commander who uses a saber both for combat and for issuing commands to his crew. The saber in question is almost completely straight and used exclusively for thrusting attacks, so it is not uncommon for people to mistake it for a rapier. | |

Played with in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Ardainian Special Inquisitor Mòrag Ladair's default weapons are whipswords that are styled and worn like sabers, but are not sabers completely. Mòrag is an extremely cool-headed character who almost never raises her voice and serves as one of the party's tanks, but rather than having high defense and health, it's more because she has high Evasion instead. | |

Near the end of The Great Race, The Great Leslie confronts Baron von Stuppe, who is trying to make a getaway. Leslie is at first armed with a fencing foil, and the Baron picks up one to engage him with, but after a minute of back and forth (clearly making the Baron sweat), the Baron suggests they switch to the saber, "a man's weapon" according to the Baron. (However, these "sabers" look more like epees.) Leslie is still shown as better than the Baron, who flees. | |

In Sharpe, most officers wear a slender sabre as a sign of rank. The titular hero is an officer and entitled to a sword, but he also came up through the ranks, and is not a gentleman, therefore his rough and ready nature favours a heavier blade. His weapon is the straight-bladed sabre of the heavy cavalry, which most men would struggle to use dismounted. | |

Despite his name, Star Saber wields a gigantic two-handed longsword. To give an idea of its size, its hilt is formed from the nosecone of his starfighter mode and in his smaller Saber robot mode it's large enough to function as a shoulder-mounted shield. That said, Star Saber actually is a War Hero as commander of the Pan-Galactic Peace Alliance Defense Force. | |
