Polish karabela, 17th century

Karabela of King Sigismund III of Poland

A karabela was a type of Polish sabre (szabla) popular in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Polish fencer Wojciech Zabłocki defines a karabela as a decorated sabre with the handle stylized as the head of a bird and an open crossguard.^[1]

Etymology

The word "karabela" does not have well-established etymology, and different versions are suggested.^[2]

Zygmunt Gloger suggests derivation from the name of the Iraqi city of Karbala, known for trade of this kind of sabres.^[3]

Another suggestion is that the name originated in Turkey, associated with the Turkish town Karabel, in the vicinity of Izmir, or the Karabel district in Crimea.^[4]
