Description
Contract Overtrun!
At Atlanta Cutlery, we forge government specification dress and drill sabers and swords with careful attention to the standards set by the U.S. military. These weapons are made to serve those who serve the nation, and each piece is crafted to meet the precise requirements established for official use. Among these, the NCO saber for the U.S. Marine Corps stands as a mark of our commitment to quality and tradition.
The blades are forged from high-polished stainless steel, chosen for its resilience and ability to display the traditional etchings of military insignia and symbolism. Blade lengths come in 28”, 30”, 32”, 34”, or 36” options, adhering strictly to government contract measurements. The scabbards are constructed with equal care, ensuring a complete and authentic set as issued to institutions such as The Citadel.
These sabers and swords are crafted in partnership with Windlass Steelcrafts, a firm known for producing historically accurate weaponry. Whether intended for drill teams, cadets, or ceremonial occasions, each piece carries the legacy of military service and discipline.
Fun fact: The Cadet Officer Sword design, common at military academies, originates from the British 1796 Light Cavalry Sabre, linking young officers to a long history of honor and readiness in battle.
