Description
CS88MAS: U.S. Army Officer's Saber
Cold Steel

While we heartily approve of our Armed Forces wearing dress swords and sabers, we thought it was a shame that only unsharpened, poorly tempered wall hangers made of weak stainless steel are all that's available.

That's why we decided to make our own truly battle worthy reproductions. They're faithful in every detail to government specifications; they offer highly polished blades, appropriate etching and quality hilts and scabbards.

The only real changes we have made are to drastically improve their performance as weapons by forging them from 1050 Carbon Steel and properly heat treating them to a tough spring temper before sharpening.

In the case of the Marine Corps Officer's Saber, we have changed the hilt to solid mirror polished brass (not easily worn gold plate) and improved the attachment of the tang to the hilt so it could better withstand the rigors of sword to sword combat.

Pros: Materials, Sheath/Scabbard, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Usable
Cons: None
Functional
Not quite as light as a modern sport saber (22oz vs. 16oz), but shorter and significantly lighter than the cavalry model (40+oz), this US Army Officer's dress saber is robust and functional. Comes with an excellent sheath. The etching is not unsightly but unnecessary and I would have preferred the blade bare. There is no question that it's deadly and would make an effective cutting and thrusting weapon. En garde!

Cons: None
Every Officer should have one of these
I too bought one of these for my Army Officer son. As a retired Cavalry trooper, I wanted him to have a sword that he could actually use. I was very impressed with the fit, finish and overall quality of this weapon. My son and all of his LT buddies think it is very cool. I am very happy with this purchase and think it is a great gift for any Army Officer.

Army officer's sabre
I got this for my son who is an Army officer. He was put off by the offerings that were just "toys". This is the real McCoy. Light, fast, sharp. Regulation. Too Cool!
