The Sashkho, is a traditional, 90-centimeter, extremely sharp, single-edged, slightly curved Adyghan sword, used by almost all Adyghan Guard troops. Its flexibility and speed of use are superior to most Imperial Guard swords, they weigh no more than 300 grams. Its lack of sword guard may seem like it gets the hand into danger but provides relatively high mobility. It can be used as both infantry and cavalry weapon. Its hilt resembles the shape of a joint for the human palm, allowing the wielder to use the sword as it is a perfect extension of the body. Also, it is a single-strike sword, meaning that with only one move, it can be unsheathed and struck upon the foe, a very rare feature found on a sword throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.
