U.S. 1860 Heavy Cavalry Saber

During the American Civil War, there were two types of saber issued to the cavalry: one light and one heavy. The light version was popular, but the heavy model, affectionately dubbed the Old Wrist Breaker was considered by many to be the one to carry into battle! With a lengthy 36 in. (approx. 91 cm) blade, it offered distinctive reach advantages over most blades, and its added weight gave it superior leverage and power. The sturdy brass guard had three bars to protect the hand and the wire bound leather grip was capped with a sturdy pommel.

Taking inspiration from antique blades in private collections, Cold Steel®'s saber is made from 1055 high carbon steel with a hard spring temper that is capable of passing the famous British Proof Test. This beautiful sword is sold complete with a double-ringed steel scabbard which can easily be attached to a saddle or belt.

1055 High Carbon Steel
The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often seen in large fixed blades and swords.

Details:
- Blade material: 1055 high carbon steel
- Overall length: approx. 105.4 cm
- Blade length: approx. 91.4 cm
- Blade thickness: approx. 8.5 mm
- Handle length: approx. 14 cm
- Weight: approx. 1134 g
- Incl. steel scabbard
- Cold Steel® Product No.: 88HCS

This is more like a steel whip thent a proper saber

As has been said by others, the market this as a 1860 saber is bollocks. It's the 1840 wristbreaker saber made out of 1055 spring tempered steel and boy did they go wild on the "spring" part of that: It feels like you have whip in your hand. Flwexibility is good in a saber/sword, but only up to a point and this is beyond that point. I'm sure the saber will be very durable, but only because they sacrificedthe original's regular, normal stiffness of the blade. I returned it because of that in combination with the (at the time) hefty price of 460 euros and got myself the Windlass Steeklworks version of the 1840 heavy cavalry saber in 1065 steel and that one is as it should be.

Ausgezeichnete Qualität!

Kampferprobt. Schwerer Säbel. Klinge und Griff sind hervorragend. Ein Lederschutz zwischen dem Messinggriff und der Stahlscheide war nicht vorhanden. Dies ist der zweite Cold Steel 1860 Heavy Cavalry Säbel, den ich gekauft habe. Das sagt alles.

Toller Kauf

Tolles Produkt, wie immer von Cold Steel.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

To start with, it's clear this does not perfectly replicate the 1860 light cavalry saber; it's longer, heavier and thicker. Also, its name isn't historically accurate since the 1860 saber wasn't referred to as a 'heavy' cavalry saber. However, this saber is extremely well-made. It's a substantial sword but very well-balanced. The blade features excellent tapering, and the hilt stays true to the 1860 design with great craftsmanship. The scabbard is of high quality, holding the sword securely while allowing for a smooth draw. Apart from the naming issue, I find no faults with this saber. Excellent job, Cold Steel.
