18th & 19th century military sabers? Meh... is what I used to say. These reproductions are quickly changing my mind. The degree of accuracy stands apart from so much cheap stuff on the market!

Also another reminder of how much proper blade shape matters... They have substantial distal tapers, and that makes a world of difference in how they handle. You could actually fence with a saber like this, and not be completely overwhelmed by a more nimble weapon.
