:: 17th C. Saber ::
Though this hand and a half design is not a strict
historical model, it resembles some sabre designs that were in use in
Renaissance Europe. This unique blade has a long handle to accommodate a two
handed grip, but with a POB of 1" is well balanced enough to handle with one
hand. The guard curves down to protect the hands as they grip the leather
wrapped handle. The blade is single edged with a thick spine, which gave it
strength and rigidity behind the cutting edge and also could be used to
block an enemy's blade if need be. The shape of the blade and guard is
similar to some two handed sabres made by Swiss and German blacksmiths that
were in use from the 15th Century all the way to the 18th Century. It is not
uncommon in period artwork from this area to see soldiers depicted fighting
with the two handed sabre.

"Hey
Eyal, just wanted to let you know the saber made
it here today, and 2 days earlier than i was
expecting it. first off, i just want to say the
pictures on the website do not do your work
justice, this sword is one of the best pieces
i've held to date. its pefectly balanced and has
a comfortable heft to it, which i enjoy.
cosmetically, its everything i could have wished
for, expected, and dreamed of. I will
definitely be coming to you again in the future
for more swords, as this experience has made me
a very happy customer."
