Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
A beskad was a traditional Mandalorian saber, primarily forged from nearly indestructible beskar iron. Comprised of a single-edged blade with a leather-bound hilt, the beskad was a weighty and incredibly resilient weapon, capable of delivering powerful blows with each swing. Designed to batter down an enemy's defenses, beskade were a favored weapon of the ancient Mandalorian warriors, though the use of the heavy iron blade spanned millennia.
