Product description

This Russian saber is perfect for Windlass sword collectors and Russian history lovers. The shashka became known as the sword of the Cossacks and saw widespread use by the cavalry in the Russian army after the Russian Revolution, eventually becoming the officer's sword of the Soviet Union. The pommel is decorated with a star, hammer, and sickle — the symbols of the Soviet Union. The hammer symbolized the workers and the sickle symbolized farmers, who fought together against capitalism. In the Soviet Union, the red five-pointed star was added as the worldwide symbol for socialism and communism. Shashka literally means "long knife." It has no guard and resembles a machete in some ways. The replica features a hardwood grip with brass decoration. It comes with a high-quality scabbard. The semi-sharp blade is hand-forged from tempered 1065 carbon steel with a hardness of 48–52 HRC. A great sword for your reenactment costume or Cosplay — and once blunted, it makes a battle-ready sword for sparring.
