A "sabre saw" was a brand name as I recall - might be in honor of the

might call it a jigsaw a generic name.
To me a jigsaw is a bench machine that uses blades up/down to saw
materials.
I want to say Black And Decker owned the trademark name Sabre Saw.

By "sabre saw" do you mean a jigsaw or a sawsall?
As I recall the jigsaw, that we know today, was always called a saber
saw. And the jig saw was what we now call a scroll saw today.
I think saber describes the appearance/action of the blade. Like saber
knife and or saber tooth.
