At the outbreak of the
American Civil War,
there were two types of
sabers issued to the
Federal Cavalry: "light"
and "heavy". The light
version was popular, but
the heavy model, dubbed
the "Old Wrist Breaker”
was the one worth
owning, as it was a
superior weapon. Its 36
in. blade offered big
reach advantages over
most sabers, and its
substantial weight gave
it the leverage to
easily crush bones and
sever limbs or even a
head with a single blow.
The brass guard had
three bars to protect
the hand and the grip
was wire bound leather
and capped with a sturdy
pommel. In its double
ringed, steel scabbard,
it could be easily
attached to a saddle or
to a belt.
After examining and
handling a number of
original 1860 Heavy
Cavalry Sabers, we
decided to make our own
reproduction with a few
improvements. Our blade
is made from 1055 carbon
steel with a hard spring
temper and will pass the
British Proof Test.
Features a 36.00 in.
1050 high carbon steel
blade and a 5.50 in.
cord wrapped handle.
Comes complete with a
steel scabbard.
