The Model 1913 Cavalry Saber, commonly referred to as the Patton Saber, was a cavalry saber designed for the U.S. Army by Second Lieutenant (later General) George S. Patton in 1913.It had a large, basket-shaped hilt mounting a straight, double-edged, thrusting blade designed for use by light cavalry. Patton\'s 1914 manual \"Saber Exercise\" outlined a system of training for both mounted and on-foot use of the saber. The weapon came to be known as the \"Patton Saber.\" There is no one sword that this saber was modeled after. Patton suggested the revision from a curved sword and edge and cutting technique
to a thrusting style of attack, following his extensive training in France.
