Product Overview
The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber with Leather Scabbard is a faithful recreation of one of history’s most feared cavalry weapons—engineered for real combat performance, not display alone.
Designed to deliver tremendous shearing cuts, this saber features a sharpened forward edge and a blade geometry that made the original 1796 pattern devastating on the battlefield. Crafted from 1055 high carbon steel, the blade offers the ideal balance of toughness, edge retention, and shock resistance.
This saber passes the British Proof Test, a critical benchmark that confirms structural integrity and combat readiness. It is fully capable of handling demanding cutting applications, making it suitable for serious collectors, historical martial artists, and reenactors who require functional authenticity.
The sword is paired with a wood-core scabbard wrapped in leather, finished with steel mounts and fittings, staying true to period construction while offering durability and secure carry. For those who prefer a different presentation, this model is also available with a steel scabbard.
This is a weapon built to honor its history—fast in hand, decisive in cut, and uncompromising in quality.
