5-Ball Spadroon – Universal Swords

$162.00$244.00

A popular sidearm of American, British and French naval officers from the latter 18th and early 19th centuries, the Spadroon was a light, fast blade capable of duel-ending thrusts against smallswords and it had just enough heft to hold against the heavier broadswords and sabers of the time. Though well-suited for thrusting, the Spadroon has a sharp cutting edge capable of delivering effective cuts. The Five-Ball is a reference to the five spheres in the knuckle guard.

American Spadroons, wielded by officers of fabled American frigates such as Constitution and Constellation would have wielded Five-Ball spadroons against those of their British counterparts, or even the scimitars of the Barbary Pirates.

This Five-Ball Spadroon has an unsharpened high carbon steel blade that has been tempered. The reproduction blade bears the makers signature of John Knubley, who was a sword cutler in Londons Charing Cross from 1785-1795. The hilt fixtures are of brass and the grip is faux ivory. It comes with a leather scabbard with brass accents and two suspension rings. A leather washer at the base of the blade protects the crossguard from banging into the brass throat of the scabbard.
