Balaur Arms – Hungarian Saber – Munitions Grade

With its sweeping blade and light weight the Balaur Arms Hungarian Saber is a fast and powerful cutter that easily slices through targets such as tatami or water bottles with its sharpened edge and cut-focused point of balance. The blade has thick spine at its base for durability and the whole blade thins steadily toward the tip in its distal taper before radically thinning at the widenend yelman-style tip, the blade thinning inversely as it widens to improve its slicing ability by minimizing drag with its thinner cross section. The blade terminates in a vicious tip that can be a capable of a surprisingly capable thrust when wielded by a skilled hand.

The guard and pommel are crafted from stainless steel and the hardwood grip is bound in cord-textured leather. A thick and wide peen of the blade tang over the pommel cap solidly anchors the blade into the hilt. Like some historical examples, a makeshift “knuckleguard” is formed by a chain. The example here might defend against light or glancing strikes, but it was not built to withstand hard hits so please use caution. For customers who prefer the appearance of Hungarian Sabers without chain “knucklebars” the chain and its anchoring points could be clipped and ground flush with a power tool with final blending being accomplished with scuff and polishing pads.

The sword comes with a wooden scabbard which is wrapped in stitched, supple leather. Its fittings and chape are stainless steel and it is completed with a set of hanging rings by which it can be suspended from a sword belt or sash with a pair of leather saber sword hangers (not included).
