Sabres were ubiquitous weapons in Eastern Europe for footmen and cavalry during the medieval periods, made famous by many warriors including the Polish Winged Hussars, the iconic heavy cavalry of the Polish Commonwealth. The curved blades then became popular in Western Europe as cavalry weapons during the Napoleonic era. The full hand guard, balanced weight and curve of the sabre blade made it ideal for cleaving through enemies from atop a horse.

This sword is made with our 'D guard Kit for Sabre' and our Type-10 combat sabre blank. The parts fit very well together, only needing some filing of the guard to allow the thick sabre tang through, which produced a blade that sits very well in the hands. The slight curve of the blade is historically appropriate and enables easy cutting when atop a warhorse. Ideal for re-enactors looking for a combat sabre.

Please note: this sword has been made with a nut at the end of the tang to secure the handle. Combat re-enactors should instead peen the tang for better construction strength and greater historical accuracy.
