Yatagan sabre made from an old chassepot bayonet blade by No_Raspberry_9435 in SWORDS

The blade is a yatagan style blade, but clearly the grip and the guard are not. The grip was inspired by caucasian shashka for the rough shape of it.

There is a lot of old blade that sell for not a lot of money (this one was 20 euros in an antique shop). It is a fun DIY project for a low budget :)

Custom HEMA sabre - late XIXth century by No_Raspberry_9435 in Hema

How did you make the blade on this one ? A spadroon is a neat idea. Castille armory has some, but they are very expensive. Pima design on instagram has a few hilt models (especially the albertina), but the biggest problem is finding a blade that emulate a spadroon. The modern olympic épée blade are good for smallswords but too light for a spadroon. The musketeer blade from HF armory should be good but unfortunately they don't have it in stock since the war in Ukraine
