Sword Review: LK Chen US m1860 Cavalry Saber

Today we go over one of the best reproduction military sabres currently on the market. Available from sword-maker LKChen https://lkchensword.com/shop-1/ols/pr... This sabre was recently featured in a video by ‪@Skallagrim‬ discussing how fearsome well made 19th century sabres are...when they are well made! Make sure you check it out.    • I Was Wrong About These Sabers!   Also a shout out to my buddy ‪@alientude‬ who recently reviewed the same model recently.    • Best saber reproduction on the market? LK ...   If you want to continue learning about swords and sword related topics I highly recommend the Patreon of my colleague Matthew Forde. He has a wealth of knowledge of British military history and beyond. Subscription is well worth it and features book reviews, case studies, interviews with experts, and articles from guest authors (including the occasional ramblings of Dlatrex).   / matthewforde   0:00 intro 0:48 The problem with modern sabres 2:25 History of the 1860 5:15 Scabbard 6:36 Test cutting 8:27 Edge test, and historical sharpness 12:04 So how good is it? 12:47 Improvements
