Sword is straight, Sabre is curved.
There are straight sabres, The main differance is a sword is Usually twin bladed (with the exception of a katana and Back-sword) a Messer or Dussack is one bladed, whilst a sabre has one full blade and about a third of back blade to assist in a lancing thrust on horseback
Both Sabre and foil are conventional weapons (both use right of way). However, Sabre allows hits to be scored with cuts and thrusts. Foil only allows thrusts to score. Sabre also allows hits to the advanced target areas (arms and head). Foil only allows hits to the torso and (by FIE rules, to a section of the mask bib). Because the Sabre scores by cutting, no wire is needed. The Sabre acts like a switch, and only registers when it touches the lame (No off-target hits are registered). However, the foil registers off-target hits, which halt the bout.
In foil, its the lightest of all 3, points are scored with only the tip of the foil and the target is from the hip up - excluding the arms and head. In Epee, its the heaviest of the three, points are scored with only the point and the target is the entire body. In Sabre, about as heavy as a foil, points are scored with the point of the side of the sabre
and the target is from the waist up- excluding the hands.
