Sabre Thompson



The Cold Steels® Thompson Sabre is not a replica of an existing historical model. It is rather a newly developed, modern battle saber. It takes its name from Cold Steel® President Lynn C. Thompson, who designed it. The Thompson Sabre was crafted to Lynn’s exact specifications. Lynn has practiced historical European, Japanese and Filipino martial arts for decades and has trained with everything from short, lightweight machetes to medieval two-handed swords. From all of these different sources, Lynn selected the features she preferred and incorporated them into the Thompson Sabre.



This is what it says: I wanted to create a combat sword. Not in the sense of a dueling sword, but a true swordsman's sword for the modern martial artist. When it comes to facing multiple adversaries, I consider the cutting edge to be more important than the point. It offers more ways to block, parry, counter, and move without being jabbed at a careless second. As a result, the Thompson Sabre, whether on foot or on horseback, is primarily designed for slashing, though it remains a good thrusting weapon. It was sanded to my exact specifications. Starting from the tip, the first 15 cm are razor-sharp. The blade then gradually becomes less sharp towards the handle. This means that it remains strong enough to effectively block, parry, or even strike the opponent's sword. The blade is deeply blued, and is therefore not only better protected against corrosion, but also harder to spot in the frenetic pace of battle.



The Thompson Sabre Guard Plate is a modified version of the 1904 Sabre Guard Plate and offers excellent hand protection. The oversized handle is wrapped in stingray skin and offers enough space even for large, modern fencing gloves. A durable sheath made of sturdy leather and steel, with a belt loop for easy carrying, is included in the delivery.



1055 carbon steel

The carbon content and relatively low levels of other materials in this steel make it a very stable material, free of the brittleness inherent in most high carbon steels. This steel is ideal for blades that need to have a high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed knives, machetes and swords.
