1796 Light Cavalry Saber
The British 1796 Light Cavalry Saber has an unsharpened blade forged from high carbon steel. The hilt is mild steel with a leather-bound grip of wood. The scabbard is steel with steel hanging rings.
\n
\nWith its distinctive flared hatchet tip, the 1796 Light Cavalry Saber was a vicious cutting and slashing sword. The blade performance was envied to the point where 1796 type sword blades were being exported to India and being re-mounted into Tulwar hilts by Indians who evidently preferred the British blade to their own.
\n
\nWith a simple, yet effective no-nonsense design, the 1796 quickly became a classic light cavalry sword and its design was closely emulated by other powers for their own cavalry.
