Hanwei Pecoraro Saber

Pecoraro Saber

The Pecoraro Saber features a bowl-shaped, perforated guard, reinforced at the narrower end (towards the pommel). The high-quality carbon steel blade is particularly flexible towards the tip. Replacement blades (item no. OH2264) are available separately.

In the historical fencing scene, late 19th-century Italian-style saber fencing is rapidly growing in popularity. Italian fencing owes its origins to fencing masters whose initial task was to teach cavalry units the proper handling of the military saber.

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

The sabers from Paul Chen's sword forge are modeled after historical originals. The hilt shapes are based on designs by Radaelli and Pecoraro. The guard elements or baskets are made of stainless steel, and the sharkskin-look grips are wire-wrapped. The flexibly hardened carbon steel blades correspond to the proportions of the blades of that time. They are only slightly shorter and lighter and have a rounded tip for safety reasons and effective training.
