Let�s show him what happens when he messes with *sabers*
sharp teeth?
Can it be *it* refering to itself (a tiger)?
Thanks |

msdd- a saber is a long, heavy metal sword with a blade on the curved side...a saber-toothed tiger has that same shape tooth that is very, very sharp and deadly...great job!!

| Buck-toothed is like a rabbit - very prominent front teeth. |

Could it be: Let's show him what happens when he messes with Saber's sharp teeth!
Such that Saber is a proper noun, the owner of the sharp teeth? |

Ah, okay then, I've seen it. Generally we don't say 'go see' for a dvd that you will watch at home.
Now then, back to the quote. The 'saber' in saber-sharp is an adjective describing how sharp the teeth are as saber tooth tigers' teeth have a certain shapness. |

| The original quote means that the speaker (Diego) is encouraging his fellow sabre-toothed tigers to show that it is unwise to annoy sabre-toothed tigers. Presumably he is exhorting them to fight. |

That's a saber. Chinese call it "dao". I think it's one of the best weapons after the long spike and the gun, of course.  |

Is this the same kind of sword that the no-dachi samurai used to use?
How long is it?
How heavy is it? |
