The 33.75-inch blade of this Radaelli Fencing Sabre has been made from high-carbon steel so the tip is quite flexible. You will notice a handsome reinforced ring that is classic to the Radaelli style as well as a fully ridged guard to protect your hand and add a point of interest.

It is interesting that sabre fencing has become just as popular now in historical fencing societies as it was during the turning of the 19th century. Originally, mounted troops were trained by fencing masters so they could use this technique in battle where necessary.

Although Salvatore Pecoraro is credited for refining and introducing changes in technique, ultimately adopted at the Military Masters School in Rome, it was Giuseppe Radaeilli who originally developed the style.

The hilt designs that were developed by both Pecoraro and Radaelli are faithfully reproduced in the fencing sabers by Hanwei, including sharkskin-patterned grips wrapped in wire and stainless steel guards. The blades follow period proportions and have been thoughtfully button-tipped for safety.
