A full handle suite, including leather-bound wooden grip, steel crossguard and steel end cap, for making your next Eastern European sabre.
This handle set is based on the hussar sabre made famous in the late 17thC by the Polish Hussars, the iconic heavy cavalry of the Polish Commonwealth. With a closed guard for protection and thumb ring for added dexterity in combat, ideally this grip is fitted to a slightly curved blade to form the polish szabla.
Pre-made hilt furniture like this is the perfect thing for those that are either making swords from scratch or repairing well-worn beaters, all the way to seasoned blacksmiths looking to save time and improve margins. Fitting sword furniture like this is a simple but rewarding process, provided you have at least a little bit of time, effort, and know-how.

Only problem I have is the leather and string wrapping is a bit sloppy. No issue since I can just re wrap it myself.
