Yes, a saber can be used for thrusting attacks. While the saber is primarily associated with cutting and slashing due to its curved blade, it also possesses a point that can be employed for thrusting or stabbing techniques.

Thrusting with a saber involves extending the blade forward in a linear motion, aiming to penetrate the target with the tip. This technique can be effective for targeting specific areas, such as gaps in armor or vulnerable parts of an opponent's body.

Thrusting attacks with a saber require accuracy, control, and proper technique. The saber's design, including its curved blade and hilt, allows for effective thrusts while retaining the versatility for cutting and slashing techniques as well.

Historically, sabers were widely used by cavalry and mounted troops due to their maneuverability and versatility in both cutting and thrusting attacks. The combination of slashing and thrusting techniques provided a range of options for mounted warriors.

If you are interested in learning the art of saber combat or any bladed weapon, it is recommended to seek proper training from qualified instructors who can teach you the appropriate techniques, safety protocols, and the strengths and limitations of the weapon.

Always prioritize safety and follow the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction when considering the use of any weapon.
