Product information "Französisches Messer M1916 „Avenger“ aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg"

Every army needs a close-quarters weapon, even when it has guns because it’s inevitable that somebody’s going to end up within breathing distance of an enemy occasionally.

This dagger was often dubbed “Le Vengeur de 1870” (The Avenger of 1870), a wistful reference to the French loss to the Prussian Army in 1870. The design was simple and practical enough to last into WWII.

Proving that the sincerest form of flattery is actually thievery, Germany confiscated large quantities of these knives when they defeated France and took them on their roadshow to Norway. Originals now sometimes sell for over $250 on the antique weapons market. The blade design inspired the US M1918 Trench Knife (of course, with the addition of the famous “knuckle” grip). Like the originals, this stout replica has a 6-3/4″ blade and is 11″ overall.

Steel scabbard replicates the original.

Two Handed Gim Sword

This type of sword was usually reserved for only the strongest warriors in ancient China, as some specimens weighed over 6 pounds! The long heavy blade cut a wide swath and thus could smash through the defenses of enemy soldiers who were armed with shorter and lighter weapons. It was a natural for defending tight spaces like gates and passage ways where there was room Our version is a bit lighter than some of the originals, giving one the option of wielding it with one or both hands. The battle-tough blade is embellished with a cast brass guard and pommel which are decoratively accented with an intricate relief pattern. The guard and pommel are fitted to an attractive hardwood handle covered with tightly braided cord. A rosewood scabbard completes the package. It is fitted with decorative brass fittings similar in style to the guard and pommel on the sword. Details: WEIGHT 48.2 oz. BLADE LENGTH 35" HANDLE 13 3/8" Long STEEL / MATERIAL 1050 Carbon OVERALL 48 3/8" ADDITIONAL FEATURE Hardwood Scabbard with Steel Fittings This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2020.

French Napoleonic 1801 Cuirassier Sword

Despite the waning effectiveness of plate armor against the increasing proficiency of firearms, the French cavalry in Napoleon’s army still wore cuirasses - Medieval-style breast and back plates - with mixed success. They were mildly useful for deflecting long-range musket and pistol fire (we emphasize “mildly”), but when combined with an ornate, gorgon-headed helmet that featured plumes and horse-tail hair, the Cuirassier’s battle dress created quite an imposing figure as he charged into the fray. Surviving accounts from British opponents attest to the petrifying spectacle of compact groups of Cuirassiers emerging from behind the French front lines. This is his sword; the French Model 1801 Cuirassier’s sword is a heavy cavalry saber with a straight blade, as the French favored the thrust over slashing or cutting. This replica weighs a little over 3 lbs, the substantial mass needed to accomplish a lance-type thrusting attack. The distally tapered blade is over 1/4” thick at the hilt and is double-fullered like the originals. Brass guard and pommel. Leather-wrapped grip with twisted wire wrap. Steel scabbard. SPECIFICATIONS: Overall Length: 109.22 cm Blade Length: 95.25 cm Blade Width: 3.49 cm Blade Thickness: 0.71 cm thick at hilt, 0,31 cm thick 2.54 cm from tip Blade Material: 1075 High Carbon Steel Weight: 1.44 kg
