Castille Armory – Economy Saber – 16 mm

Please Note: At KOA we currently offer two different version of the Castille Armory Economy Saber: The 20 mm is a wider blade, whilst the 16 mm is thinner. This is the 16 mm version. 

The Castille economy sabre is based on the 19^th and 20^th century light cavalry sabres that boasted the “stirrup” style guards. This inexpensive simulator while being light with a total weight of just 570 grams, provides plenty of blade presence. The superbly well tempered blade is a robust flat ground version of our 16 mm Dueling blade at 34” F3 and has a proper Radaelli curve. The rounded blade edge has a minimum of 3mm thickness and a 3mm thick rounded tip. Made entirely in the USA, the high quality 5160 spring steel for the blade is sourced from USA mills and certified for quality.

The guard is made from high strength 100 grade alloy steel and offers a great deal of space for heavy gloved hands including SPES style gloves. This sabre offers a choice of robust specially contoured black PLA grip or our dueling sabre back strap system with a large and small profile grip insert. It is all held together by a recessed m6 threaded pin. It can be disassembled as needed for replacement of components or modularity as desired.

We have developed this sabre to be the go-to product for new fighters and masters alike.  Its the most robust light sabre available anywhere, period. Being heavily tested in the most demanding combat situations, it has truly astonished our testers against longswords and in full contact, full armored combat. It is a truly remarkable value. Finally, it handles like a historical sabre of this variety should with a balance point of 11cm. Its the last sabre you’ll ever need.
