What makes an ideal a
cavalry saber? To impale
your enemies in the
charge, you need a
narrow stiff blade with
a sharp point. In the
mêlée, on an immobile
horse, you need a wide,
curved, semi flexible
blade for cutting and
slashing. The British
set up a committee to
study this quandary and,
in 1908, settled on a
saber whose long suit
was the thrust. It had a
narrow, 35" long blade,
a thick cross section
and a sharp point. It
had an excellent bowl
shaped hand guard and a
grip that automatically
brought the point “in
line” for the perfect
thrust. It was easy to
carry too, as its
scabbard had two rings
for suspending it from
one’s belt or attaching
it to a saddle.
Eventually adopted by
the Indian Army, it’s
still issued today as
the 1908 Indian Army
Cavalry Saber.
The president of Cold
Steel has become quite
fond of this saber after
fencing extensively with
it and we are now proud
to offer our
interpretation of this
fantastic weapon. It
replicates the original
lines with only a
slightly lighter gauge
steel for the bowl guard
(for improved balance),
and a more durable
plastic grip. In our
tests this saber has
proven ideal for ground
combat as well as in the
saddle, and, when well
sharpened, can deliver a
frightfully effective
cut as well.
