A cutter, or an axe.
It is also called sa/gari without the "s."
Xenophon [writes]: "[Democrates] came leading a man seized by force, who had a Persian bow and a quiver and a sagaris, such as the Amazons have."

Greek original · Adler’s text

Σάγαρις· κοπίς, ἢ πέλεκυς. λέγεται καὶ σάγαρι χωρὶς τοῦ ς. Ξενοφῶν· ὁ δὲ ἄνδρα συλλαβὼν ἧκεν ἄγων ἔχοντα τόξον Περσικὸν καὶ φαρέτραν καὶ σάγαριν, οἷάν περ αἱ Ἀμαζόνες ἔχουσι.
