Give Shamshir, Persian Sabre

Shamshir, Persian sabre



The shamshir originated in Persia and spread throughout the Ottoman Empire and beyond to India and even the Philippines. Its strongly curved blade enjoyed great popularity for a long time.



Cold Steels® this version of this historic sabre is as close to a replica of the historic original as possible. The Cold Steel® Shamshir features an expertly hardened 1055 carbon steel blade with a strong curvature, narrow cross section, razor-sharp edge and very pointed tip. It also has a hilt with a cross-shaped brass guard and an imitation buffalo horn handle, which ends in a pronounced, bulbous pommel. This pommel is slightly curved to provide the hand with as much support as possible during hard, slashing blows.



The beautiful hand-made sheath is made of sturdy black leather (so the blade stays sharp), reinforced with a brass sheath and mouthpiece. It is also equipped with two retaining rings for easy carrying or presentation.



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.
