American Revolution Saber

(9 customer reviews)

$143.95$189.95

Circa 1775: The American Colonists were, like most of Europe, amorous of the dashing French Hussar. The handmade hilt of this American saber reflects their admiration of the 1700’s French style. This well-balanced, fast sword was designed for the mounted fighter. Solid steel hilt with spiral pattern carved hardwood grip is married to an effective 1085 high carbon, well tempered blade. Comes with black leather scabbard with steel mounts. This attractive sword can be seen in the book ”Swords and Blades of the American Revolution” by O.C. Newmann.

    Unbeatable quality for the price For under $150 this sword is incredible. Excellent craftsmanship and well balanced. Hands down one of the best windlass products I have owned.

    Incredible Awesome sword. Very good at cuting.

    Amazing I recently received this sword and I’m taking aback by how beautiful and amazingly well crafted this sword is I paid for the sharpening and I’m honestly content with it very good for cutting a little hefty but a very good sword

    Good value, but it could benefit from distal taper. I received this sword a few days ago and am impressed with the quality of the fittings and the steel itself, however the lack of distal taper leaves more to be desired when it comes to handling. The sword balances at 7” from the guard, making it feel much more heavy and sluggish than it should for a 2lb saber. Despite this, for $150 I am happy with my purchase and can recommend this sword to any other budget minded sword enthusiast. It’s well made, it looks great, and the steel is of good quality. It will look good on my wall and is a great, functional training tool for a beginner like myself.

    A bit disappointed I was a bit disappointed in this sword. I saw the great reviews, and it fits my taste so I was really looking forward to getting it. Immediately on drawing it the first time, I noticed how far forward the point of balance was. Despite being a 2 pound saber, it handled worse than some weighing closer to 3 I’ve handled. The point of rotation felt very far forward as well and just made this blade feel slow and clumsy.

    The sheath was well assembled but had the opposite problem to most Windlass sheaths as in it was far too tight. I had to force the blade back in using two hands everytime.

    The bumpy wood handle I though would be good for grip but ended up feeling uncomfortable and abrasive. I needed gloves when wielding for more than a moment.

    The finish was great overall, except for the pommel which had a rough patch, all an all though, you should expect that in this price range.

    This sword, while it felt sturdy and well made, disappointed me so much with its handling and uncomfortable grip that I quickly turned around and traded it for something else. I wouldn’t consider it a waste, but you’re definitely getting what you pay for here so don’t expect too much.

    Amazing Sword I was hunting for a good-quality sword in an affordable range and was not disappointed. This sword displays excellent craftsmanship and should be the standard for any sword at THIS price range. The space between the blade and the hilt is very minimal and the grip is exceedingly comfortable for what it is. The blade bends back into shape and can withstand abuse a lot better than I thought it would

    Pretty good I like the way the sword looks, and for a 19th century style saber, it handles pretty well. The point of balance and weight feel a bit similar to the 1796 light cavalry saber, and the wood grip feels nice as well. The only issue I have is the scabbard. It’s a soft leather scabbard that is too tight around the sword. I would have preferred it if it was made with wood or steel to retain the shape and make it more sturdy. Otherwise it’s a fine sword at a great price.

    I bought one of these swords* for HEMA training, hoping to use it for drilling and light sparring.

    Pros:

    – very pretty
    – reasonable build quality for price, in terms of hilt construction and finish
    – nice and light

    Cons:

    – blade is incredibly whippy, making it difficult to maintain edge alignment when practising cuts. I had to cut it down by 4 inches to make it handle correctly
    – the steel is buttery soft and was significantly nicked after only 5 mins of very light sparring against a sword of similar weight and style.

    If you’re looking for a nice wall hanger, or a cheap test cutter, then this would be a good buy. However, it should NOT be advertised as being ‘battle ready’ and is not safe for any form of contact fighting in my view.

    *purchased from a different supplier, but the same manufacturer

    Today I received this American revolution saber, my reviews are as a 45 years old experience fencer with the Epee , this saber has an excellent balance as a cutting weapon with one hand, if you want to have a strong arm practice with this saber. I am 76 years old and I am still practicing with my swords to stay in good shape, the fencing swords are light, they are made for fencing competitions . This saber was made to fight with the cavalry, and is very patriotic to have this 1775 saber . I love the quality of this weapon.
