I feel like a man reviewing sabers should look much like this. The mustache screams Hussar, well groomed and trimmed for open faced helmets and caps, and with the regal authority that such status in a cavalry unit should bring. 10/10

These days I use the Thokk WeaponMaster Gauntlets for sabre. They are not perfect but I like them. I can't use them inside a basket hilt, so here I was just wearing thin gloves, which leaves the wrist unprotected.

You can tell that they went from slashing to piercing as time goes on, probably because the armor was better over time too.

i've tried today to sharp my napoleon cavalry sword , i spent 7hours to sharp it and it's not even razor sharp , it can cut some stuff but it struggle to cut paper so any advice can be appreciate 🙂 i've tried wetstone at 400 and 1000 grid mostly , tried 3000 and 8000 but i don't know why but the 8000 was somehow unsharpening my sword.

It's the British 1845 pattern infantry officers sword. This model is usually slightly curved but this example has got a straight blade. You could call it a backsword.

I have swung both sabers and long- and arming swords, and I must say, the pommel makes the swords a lot more comfortable to use, by shifting the point of balance closer to you. The saber put a lot more strain on my wrist
@historyandsabre
@historyandsabre 20 күн бұрын
They controlled balance and mass distribution via profile and distal taper on sabres. DIfferent sabres feel completely different!

Sabres were used in a lot of military contexts from ca. the 17th to the early 20th century. Shorter sabres were useful for confined spaces such as ships and therefore often adopted by navies. The European type sabres were mainly used by themselves but there are instances where you'd grab a secondary weapon. It was more common with rapiers to have parrying dagger in the off-hand.

@historyandsabre
@historyandsabre Ай бұрын
Ich würde als ersten Schritt bei willhaben schauen (für Österreich) oder auf ähnlichen Seiten mit privaten Kleinanzeigen für Deutschland. Es gibt auch diverse Auktionsseiten. Häufig und günstig sind Säbel vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, für Österreich-Ungarn ist das vor allem der Infanterie-Offfizierssäbel M1861. Da bekommt man ohne große sammlerische Ansprüche ein schönes Exemplar um dir 200€. LG

I have an M1869 Officers sword that's not a dress version. It was also made by Weyesberg & Stamm and the blade looks to be factory sharpened. It is in 100% origional condition with a sword knot that is perfect. This is one of my favorite swords.
