The Maker
Universal Swords
With origins going back to 1960, India’s Universal Swords has been making reproduction swords for decades. With an emphasis on military sabers, universal produces a number of designs not found elsewhere. As the official US distributor of Universal Swords, KOA will be expanding to stock their entire line over time.

Spot on reproduction. Weight is good and all fittings look authentic. Kinda wished they would have opted for the ruby eyes. Had the blade sharpened by KOA, and it is scary sharp. Fits tight into scabbard with locking mechanism to the handguard.
Feels well constructed and I am happy to have in my collection, as original pieces are 20 X the price.
Nice sword however…
It’s a very beautiful sword. I have bought it with an sharpened edge and it’s also very sharp and good for bottle cutting.
However, I have one time accidentally hit my wooden stand. It was not a hard hit but it was enough to slightly dent the blade. The dent is not really visible and I have only noticed it when I cleaned and oiled the blade afterwards. I would also recommend using gloves/gauntlets while test cutting.The sheath is a bit tight.
Overall it’s a very visually pleasing saber and if you are carefull while test cutting, there shouldn’t be any problem.
