Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is this sword built for, and who is it a good fit for? Common Question
This is a reproduction of the 18th century French grenadier infantry saber, built to Battle Ready standards with a C60 high carbon steel blade. It ships with a blunt edge, so it's a strong fit for collectors, reenactors, and display, and for drilling cuts and handling work where a live edge isn't needed. It can be sharpened with our optional sharpening service to make it a functional cutting sword.
Q What is the blade made of, and how durable is it? Common Question
The blade is C60 high carbon steel, a tough, shock-resistant steel commonly used in battle ready swords because it holds up well to flexing and impact. Blade thickness tapers from 4.5 mm near the guard down to 4.1 mm, giving it a sturdy cross-section for a single-edged curved saber blade.
Q Does this sword come sharp? Common Question
No, this sword ships with a blunt edge. It's suited to handling, display, and drilling cuts rather than cutting targets like tatami or water bottles.
Q What's the hilt made of, and how is the grip constructed? Common Question
The hilt is brass, with a single knuckle-bow guard and a curved quillon in the same brass tone. The grip itself is brass as well, finished with a ribbed, wire-wrapped texture for a secure hold, and the pommel is a nut-style fitting that threads onto the end of the tang.
Q What does the point of balance mean for how this sword handles? Common Question
The point of balance sits 4 1/2 inches out from the guard, which is close in for a saber with a 23 5/8 inch blade. That keeps the weight concentrated nearer the hand, giving the sword a lively, maneuverable feel suited to the cutting and slashing motions this type of military saber was designed for.
Q What comes with the sword, and what is the scabbard made of? Common Question
The sword comes with a matching scabbard built from leather with brass fittings at the throat and the tip (the chape). The brass accents tie in with the sword's brass hilt for a matched look.
Q How should I care for this sword to keep it from rusting? Common Question
Wipe the blade down after handling and keep a light coat of oil on the steel to guard against moisture and rust. The leather scabbard will trap humidity against the blade over time, so for long-term storage keep the sword out of the scabbard, oiled, and in a dry place.
