Enough Slash for Your Cash? - 1796 & 1860 Light Cavalry Sabers (Full Review)

Even if you don't have a special interest in military sabers of the 18th and 19th century, these reproductions stand out for their high historical accuracy and craftsmanship. As usual I've put them to the test, cutting tatami mats with and without hardwood core, as well as testing the structural integrity through blade on blade parries. Of course also giving you an up close look at the fit & finish, so you can get an eye of the quality for the price.
