Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber |
|
Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber. This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who protested its use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted.

Cold Steel 1908 British Cavalry Saber (88ECS) |
Points: 22

What makes the ideal cavalry saber? In the charge you need a narrow, stiff blade with a sharp point to impale your enemies. In the męlée, on an immobile horse, you need a wide, curved, semi flexible blade for cutting and slashing.
The British pondered this dilemma and in 1908, settled on a saber that favored the thrust. It had a narrow 35" long blade, a thick cross section and a sharp point.

Points: 15

The light cavalry saber is features a long, gently curved blade that would have been just as effective on horseback as it would have on foot, serving in equal
capacity as a slicing and a stabbing weapon.
Sabre features a stainless steel blade, and a wire-wrapped handle that provides a secure grip.
Also features a classic saber's guard, which keeps the hand safe while the saber is held. Comes with a steel scabbard set with two rings,
which means that this sword can actually be worn at your side with the proper suspension system. Sold Out
