One of the rapidly growing arts within historical fencing societies is that of sabre fencing in the late 19th century Italian style, originating with fencing masters who were employed to train mounted troops in the effective use of the military saber. The Milanese fencing master Guiseppe Radaelli, is credited with starting the development of this fencing style, while Salvatore Pecoraro introduced changes and refinements which resulted in the technique finally adopted for sabre deuling at the Military Masters School in Rome.
The hilt design developed by Radaelli has been reproduced in the Paul Chen Radaelli Fencing Saber , with a stainless steel guard and wire-wrapped sharkskin-pattern grip. The high-carbon flex-tempered steel blade closely follows the proportions of the period and are button-tipped for safety. A replacement blade is available for the Paul Chen Radaelli Sabre.
This fully functional fencing saber sword is tailored to meet the demands of reenactment and stage combat.
