Has anybody got experience with these swords?

Assuming that they are hardened and tempered properly, that saber ought not to pose any problems and stand up to moderate use if that is your intent.

1050 is not an uncommon sword steel. I would like to see a few more stats on the blade like thickness at spine, distal taper if any and thickness of the blade at various points.

Import blades from some manufacturers tend to be "whippy" and that is not good. If they import the blades and fit them with their furniture it may be a concern.

Military Heritage is generally regarded as a very trustworthy and reliable source for military sword patterns. I plan on getting one myself as soon as there's money. :)
 
I would immagine that it would depend on your definition of "USE"

It should be perfectly suitable for soft target cutting, assuming that it is tempered properly.

I would not use it for hard target cutting, as you would most likely damage the blade.

Sabers were designed for slashing a clothed human, not hacking through an oak plank.

Thank you, I am well aware of what a sabre was designed for though, but thanks for the tip.
 
Yoshi,

Please don't be insulted by my post above. I did not to intend to insinuate that you did not know the proper use for a saber, I sometimes forget that there are people who know that there is a proper use for different types of weapons.

My posting of the obvious, is a reaction to the constant stream of misinformed souls who believe that Hollywoods portrayal of swords able to cut through stone pillars and steel beams is based in real world performance.

No problem Chuck, thank you for the clarification, much appreciated.
