A sabre or curved sword.

Examples

“The Shable is more in use amongst the Horse, than other Bodies of Men, it is not altogether as long as the Sword; but to make amends for that, the Blade is twice so broad and edged on one side; and therefore it is more used for cutting than thrusting.”

“At last, the Commander struck him with a shabble on the face.”
