Description
While they heartily approve of their Armed Forces wearing dress swords and sabers, Cold Steel thought it was a shame that only unsharpened, poorly tempered wall hangers made of weak stainless steel were all that was available. That’s why they decided to make their own truly battle worthy reproductions. They’re faithful in every detail to government specifications; they offer highly polished blades, appropriate etching and quality hilts and scabbards.
The only real changes they have made were to drastically improve their performance as weapons by forging them from 1050 Carbon Steel and properly heat treating them to a tough spring temper before sharpening. In the case of the Marine Corps Officer’s Saber, they have changed the hilt to solid mirror polished brass (not easily worn gold plate) and improved the attachment of the tang to the hilt so it could better withstand the rigors of sword-to-sword combat.
