1917 Saber by Cold Steel Knives
Price: $207.99
Remembered through the ages as the seafaring weapon of choice, these swords
have an history which stretches back to ancient times. Not only were they
made famous in close quarter melees as pirates boarded treasure-laden galleons
during the great "Age of Sail", they also have seen action as
standard issue among many of the world's great navies. In 1917, the U.S.
Navy decided to replace its Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous
service for 57 years, with a new model. Cold Steel's¨ modern recreation
of this classic fighting sword is as authentic as possible and virtually
an exact copy of an original in the personal collection of Cold Steel¨
President Lynn C. Thompson. Just like the original, both feature a half
basket guard stamped out of heavy 18-gauge carbon steel, blued to match
the blade. The handles are fashioned from carefully shaped hardwood painted
brown and secured to the full tang by three heavy brass cutler's rivets.
This 1917 series sword has a 31" blade (Saber) and features a blued
blade to curtail rusting and a short clipped point sharp enough for good
penetration yet sturdy enough to resist bending or breaking. |
