US Cavalry Heavy Sabre, Left Hand Version CST-88HCSL

US Cavalry Heavy Sabre

The CST-88HCSL US Cavalry Heavy Sabre, left-hand version, is a faithful replica of the heavy sabre used in the American Civil War. This model was intended exclusively for cavalry and was distinguished from the light sabre by its considerable size and weight. In fact, it was nicknamed "Old Wrist Breaker" due to its enormous force and leverage.

The heavy sabre was the weapon of choice for many cavalry troops and was considered the best choice for battle. Its length of over 90 centimetres gave it a much longer range than most sabres, allowing soldiers to strike the enemy from a safe distance. In addition, its three-pronged brass basket handle provided excellent protection for the soldier's hand in the event of hand-to-hand combat.

For its own version, Cold Steel was inspired by antique pieces from private collections. Its blade is made of 1055 carbon steel and is tempered to the hardness of a spring, ensuring its durability and strength. In fact, this blade would pass the British proof test, known as the sword test.

In addition, this sabre comes with a steel sheath with two rings, making it easy to carry on your belt or horse's saddle. With an overall length of approximately 105.4 centimeters and a weight of around 1134 grams, the CST-88HCSL is the ideal choice for those looking for a high-quality heavy sabre.
