Knuckle Bow American Revolutionary War Hanger

This War Hanger sword, used during the American Revolution (1775-1783), was mainly wielded by infantry officers. War Hangers are single-edged blades that vary in design, with either straight or curved blades, and their use differed among the navy, infantry, officers, and for hunting. The term "War Hanger" derives from its role as a sidearm and the manner in which it hung from the user's belt. This particular model features a four-slot handguard, reminiscent of earlier British-style swords.

It is made of 5160 spring steel celebrated for its high durability and flexibility, making it effective for cutting, as well as its resistance to rust and corrosion. The handle is wrapped with leather underneath a wire cord wrap, ensuring a very firm grip. The fittings are made of stainless steel and include a knuckle-bow guard for added protection. It comes with a wooden scabbard wrapped in leather. This War Hanger is well-suited for both functional use and as a decorative piece, evoking the historical spirit of the American Revolutionary era.
