The "sainti" is an Indian parry weapon or pole arm of Arab origin, developed during the 16th-19th centuries for offensive and defensive purposes. Considering swords were expensive and usually only carried by affluent officers, the sainti became a highly effective utilitarian alternative used by foot soldiers. They have many variations and can be found in the forms of clubs, axes, spears, and push daggers.
