Sable peccary

The Pecoraro saber has a perforated, cup-shaped guard blade with a reinforced edge at the narrow end (toward the handle cap). The high-quality carbon steel blade is particularly flexible toward the tip. Replacement blades (item no. OH2264) are available separately.

In the historical fencing scene, late 19th-century Italian-style saber fencing is enjoying increasing popularity. The art of Italian fencing owes its origins to fencing masters, whose initial task was to teach cavalry units the correct use of the military saber.

The Milanese fencing master Guiseppe Radaelli is considered the founder of this style, and the changes and improvements later introduced by Salvatore Pecoraro gave rise to the technique that was finally adopted by the Scuola Magistrale Militare di Scherma (School of Military Fencing Instructors) in Rome.

The sabers from Paul Chen's forge are based on historical models. The magazine shapes are inspired by designs by Radaelli and Pecoraro. The guard elements or baskets are made of stainless steel, and the sharkskin-look handles are wrapped in wire. The flex-hardened carbon steel blades correspond to the proportions of period blades. They are slightly shorter and lighter and have a rounded tip for safety and effective training.
