1904 Austrian Cavalry Saber - Battle-Ready Reproduction
If you're seeking a saber that perfectly balances cutting ability and historical authenticity, the 1904 Austrian Cavalry Saber is your answer. This battle-ready reproduction has a slightly curved pipe-back blade forged from tough 1065 high carbon steel. The blackened faux rayskin grip feels secure and authentic in hand, while the steel scabbard with hanging rings ensures your saber is always at the ready.
This saber was designed by the Inspector General of the Cavalry and adopted in 1908 after a series of refinements. It was widely issued throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire and praised for its unique design: the pipe-back blade offers a robust yet flexible fighting edge, while the low-profile, asymmetrical guard is pierced with 27 holes to reduce weight and enhance balance. This gave cavalrymen a versatile and protective weapon, without the bulk of other sabers of the time.
