Feels great in the hand

Just as described very happy with my purchase. Would buy from again.
I haven’t spared with them yet but they feel solid and well built. Feels great in the hand.

Fantastic Training Weapon

This is the kind of weapon that makes you want to fence just by holding it. I fell in love the moment I picked this saber up. It is far lighter than one might expect and maneuvers extremely well. My one complaint is that I was not expecting a brand new weapon to have such tarnish and wear on the knuckle guard and cross guard portions, but this is a superficial issue and not a serious drawback. I will absolutely be buying another of these, and likely soon.

Light Cavalry Saber

I bought this expecting it to be the infantry one, but they actually had the light cavalry one in stock instead! I still made the purchase and love the handling. It is more tip heavy as constructed, so less nimble than other fencing sabers. I find it as a great way to strengthen my wrists.
