The hand and-a-half saber design is inpired by various examples used during the 17th c.
The unique blade has a long handle to accommodate a two handed grip, but with a POB of 3" is well balanced enough to handle with one hand. The guard curves down to protect the hands as they grip the leather wrapped handle. The blade is single edged with a thick spine, which gave it strength and rigidity behind the cutting edge and also could be used to block an enemy's blade if need be.
