Pattern-welded Polish Szabla with scabbard
900 Cdn. plus shipping
In the 1600's the Polish cavalry were among the most feared warriors in Europe, most noted for their breaking of the Ottoman army at the siege of Vienna. Masters of the lance and sabre, they had no betters on horseback and few equals.
This sabre is a classic design, based on examples from the mid-1600s. The blade is pattern-welded from over 300 layers of high carbon and nickel tool steel. The guard and support rings are hand-forged from iron, and the scabbard is wood covered with leather, reinforced with copper fittings. The grip end is brass with a sterling silver end plate.
The blade is both pinned into the grip and peened at the end for secure fitting. This is a functional blade, hardened and tempered into the low Rc50's for strength with decent cutting ability, and the edges are hand-sharpened. Like many historical pieces, this has a sharpened back edge for several inched from the point.
Blade length is 80 cm, weight without scabbard is 1100 grams and point of balance is approximately 15 cm from the guard.
