Product Overview
The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber with Steel Scabbard is a purpose-built, combat-quality reproduction of one of history’s most effective cavalry swords—engineered for durability, performance, and authenticity.
Forged from 1055 high carbon steel, the blade features a sharpened forward cutting edge designed to deliver the powerful shearing cuts that made the original 1796 pattern legendary. This saber passes the British Proof Test, confirming its structural integrity and readiness for demanding use.
Unlike leather-wrapped variants, this model is paired with a fully metal steel scabbard, offering enhanced durability, a period-correct military appearance, and secure long-term storage. The all-metal construction makes it especially appealing to reenactors and practitioners who value strength and resilience in the field.
Balanced, fast in hand, and uncompromising in build quality, this saber is suitable for serious collectors, historical martial artists, and anyone seeking a functional weapon rooted in authentic design.
For those who prefer traditional construction, this model is also available with a leather scabbard.
