The Tide Saber wears a ribbed brass-titanium basket broad enough for a gloved Karthunai hand but scaled for ordinary human wrists. Its slightly hollow-ground blade favors draw cuts in narrow passages, while drain slots keep the guard from collecting rain, wash water, and all the other filth a boarding deck serves up. Salt left under the grip collar breeds galvanic pitting; veterans strip and oil it after every wet watch. New owners usually learn that lesson after the basket starts smelling like old coins.
Permit-required fencing weapon; basket guards with concealed devices are subject to inspection.
