1912 Sabre – A Modern Tribute to Italian Sabre Legacy
The 1912 Sabre is a faithful interpretation of early 20th-century Italian fencing sabres, meticulously reconstructed from original artifacts and fencing treatises. The blade is directly inspired by a Radaelli-style curved blade we personally measured, paired with a historical Pecoraro hilt we acquired and studied in detail. Directly referencing Italian fencing traditions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the 1912 Sabre is shaped to reflect the fencing philosophy of masters such as Pecoraro, Pessina, Radaelli, Masiello, and Barbasetti. It follows the proportions of museum originals, yet has been fine-tuned to ensure optimal weight distribution, durability and control.
The 1912 Sabre incorporates our Modular Sword System™, so it’s fully dismountable. While the original design has been respected with obsessive attention—down to the curvature, cross-section, and hilt architecture—we infused it with just enough of our signature Malleus Martialis approach to deliver a tool that performs as impressively as it looks.
