double (& more) points for me:
sabers are perhaps the greatest swords of all time, having the longest active service
a
shamshir is a type of Persian sword
a scimitar is a "middle eastern" sword, actually a shamshir or saber, really (QUADRUPLE points!).
a
shotel is an Ethiopian scimitar, which is a sword (triple points!)
a
szabla is a Polish/Hungarian/Armenian saber. sadly we lack any treatises or manuals on how it's use differed from other styles.
a
schweizersäbel is a renaissance era Swiss saber (triple points!)
a
shashka is a Russian/Ukranian/Cossak type of Saber
a
shinken is a Japanese sword (Iajutsu/Iado)
a
shinai is a Japanese sword (Kendo)
a
ssangsudo is a Korean 2 handed sword
a samgakdo is a triangular bladed Korean sword
a
spatha is a Roman sword
a sabina is a small sword (triple points!)
a
spada da lato is a Spanish side sword (QUADRUPLE points! transitional weapon from arming sword to rapier)
a
schiavona is a basket hilted Italian broadsword
a
shikomizue is a Japanese sword stick (triple points!)
a sainchamsageom (great 4 tiger sword) is a Korean demon slaying sword
a samjeongdo is a sword given to newly promoted Korean generals
a smallsword sucks, but is still a sword
a spadroon sucks even worse, but is still a sword, even if it neither cuts nor thrusts very well
a sapara is a type of sickle sword from the ancient near east (Triple points! think Khopesh)
questionable/controversial
a seax is a northern European knife, that sometimes reached sword like lengths
a scramasax is more or less the same thing
