The Theran Saber is a normal saber with a jagged blade instead of a smooth edge.
(If you have seen the movie Willow, the Princess is using one, if you haven't seen Willow you missed something)
An extraordinary success in an attack test with a Theran Saber results in a (very painful) impalement of the opponent. For sake of game flow just add 5 steps to damage.
To twist the weapon free again a successful strength [8] test is required.
Just like when using a normal saber a good success is needed to disarm the wielder. The major drawback of this weapon is the blades instability due to its unique edge, each time the weapon scores more than 20 points of damage, roll step 5 (=1d8) if you score higher than 4 the blade shatters, Theran Sabers increased with the help of the Forge Blade talent may subtract one per "plus", but still break on a natural "8".
The second drawback is that the use of this weapon automatically leads other adventurers/heroes/adepts to the assumption that the user is a great supporter of Thera, which may produce some rather unpleasant surprises...
