American Revolution Saber

The American Revolutionary Saber reflects the admiration that the American Colonists—and much of Europe—held for the dashing French Hussars of the 18th century. Light, fast, and well-balanced, this saber was designed for mounted combat, giving cavalrymen the speed and cutting power needed in the chaos of the battlefield. With its French-inspired hilt and tempered blade, this reproduction embodies both the martial function and the flair that made the saber such a celebrated weapon of the era.

Historical Background

During the 1700s, French cavalry and their sabers set the standard for style and effectiveness in mounted warfare. The Colonists, eager to emulate their allies, adopted similar designs, with hilts modeled after the elegant French forms of the period. These sabers became popular not only for their practicality in combat but also for their appearance, which conveyed status and sophistication. An example of this very type of sword is featured in Swords and Blades of the American Revolution by O.C. Newmann, cementing its place in the story of America’s fight for independence.
