Description

The Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber, model CS88S, is a masterful reproduction of one of history’s most iconic military sabers, favored by light cavalry units during the Napoleonic Wars. With its distinctive curved blade, aggressive cutting geometry, and robust build, this saber is both a collector’s centerpiece and a fully functional weapon crafted for enthusiasts of historical arms. This particular model, manufactured by Cold Steel and forged in India, showcases a beautifully tempered 1055 carbon steel blade, measuring 33 inches in length. The blade features a wide fuller for reduced weight and enhanced balance without sacrificing strength, staying true to the originals wielded by British cavalry units. The saber’s overall length comes in at an impressive 37.75 inches, offering excellent reach and fluid maneuverability. The handle is wrapped in high-quality black leather over a wood core, paired with a polished steel hand guard and pommel—providing a solid, comfortable grip and a traditional aesthetic. This saber is not only historically accurate but also a rugged and durable piece that will stand the test of time whether displayed or used in cutting practice. Each unit comes complete with a matching wood and leather scabbard, also featuring steel accents. The Cold Steel CS88S arrives boxed and ready for presentation or use.
