Duel Saber 95 cm — agile 1v1 balance
The Duel Saber is built around 1v1 tempo: distance control, quick line changes, and efficient wrist work. Its profile follows Eastern saber historical prototypes known across Asia and Eastern Europe, with a moderate curvature suited to controlled striking.
Specs: 95 cm overall length, 1.25 kg weight. The mild curve supports arcing trajectories and helps “cut the corner” without excessive tip dive. The handling is noticeably different from a straight sword, so it benefits from adaptation drills; once dialed in, it enables fast rhythm changes and repeatable actions.
For full-contact disciplines, safe blade geometry matters: properly finished edges and a correctly shaped tip reduce snagging and cutting risks on armor and soft kit. Like any tournament weapon, this saber is intended to meet common technical inspection criteria used across formats (HMB, IMCF, and others), but acceptance depends on the specific event rules and the weapon’s current condition.
Use & upkeep: after sparring, inspect edges and the tip for burrs or dents, check guard/handle tightness, remove raised metal, and protect from corrosion. This routine supports durability and keeps maintenance predictable between fights.
