Which puzzle weapons have buffs over standard melee weapons?

I unlocked the sabre a while back and it has some slight buffs over the standard heavy melee weapons. I assumed this must just be the case for all puzzle weapons but I unlocked the kukri a couple of days ago and had the intention of using it as it looks a lot cooler than the sabre but it doesn't have any advantages over the standard weapons. Is the sabre the only one with the additional bonuses or are there any others?

    It's not about being a Puzzle Piece melee Weapon why they have a little buff for the speed part, compared to the other Weapons which are in the same damage section!

    It's just a couple specific Weapons which have that little buff. (for any reason)

    It's the:
    - Saber (Puzzle)
    - Yatagan Sword (simply unlocked for everyone)
    - Ottoman Kilij (In-game assignment)
    - Naval Cutlass (In-game assignment)

    They all got 10 more speed that the other heavy melee Weapons.

    So are they actually better? Doing a bit of googling seems to say the sabre isn't actually any different even though the stats say it is.

    That's what i can't say so far, if the stats just show it or it's actually so.

    I mean, based on that what you asked for, that's what i came up with as answer.

    The In-game and the App stats show the little buff. So, not sure.

    But i'm also not sure if you will even really feel that 10 more speed at all.
    That would be needed to check exactly with a timer. 😉

    Maybe the difference with the saber compared to other similar heavy bladed weapons is too small to notice.

    Unless you think it's a typo (or the wrong stat shown).
