Lion's Head Sabre
A particularly high-quality sabre with an elaborately designed handle made of yellow metal. Two red acrylic stones have been worked into the lion's eyes. The hilt is screwed to the tang. The handle with a hardwood core is covered with black cowhide and wrapped in stainless steel wire. A fuller is milled on both sides of the blade at approx. 2/3 of its length for the purpose of weight reduction. The blade is not completely sharp. Its striking edge is approx. 1 mm thick. Both the blade and the metal scabbard with a suspension ring have a polished finish. This sabre is suitable as a costume accessory for decorative purposes. It is sold without a breakage guarantee, so it is not a practical combat sabre. More information...
