SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cas Iberia Revolutionary War Hanger Sword is a faithful museum-style replica that captures the rugged character and practical design of an iconic sidearm from America’s early military history. Hanger swords were favored for their compact size, durability, and versatility, serving officers and soldiers alike as reliable close-combat weapons. This reproduction stays true to that heritage, offering solid construction and historically inspired detail that collectors and enthusiasts can appreciate.
The blade measures 24.62 inches and is forged from full tempered 1566 high carbon steel, a material chosen for its toughness and resilience. This steel delivers a strong balance between durability and flexibility, reflecting the qualities that made original hanger swords effective in demanding conditions. The blade’s profile provides authoritative cutting ability while maintaining enough control for precise movements. Its full tang construction adds strength and integrity, ensuring the blade and handle function as a unified, dependable piece.
The hilt is constructed entirely from stainless steel, including the handle, guard, pommel, and hilt components. This all-metal design gives the sword a substantial, confident feel in hand while maintaining a clean, historically appropriate appearance. The stainless steel construction also offers added resistance to corrosion, making the sword easier to maintain over time. The grip shape promotes secure handling, reinforcing the sword’s purpose as a functional sidearm rather than a purely decorative piece.
Measuring 31 inches overall and weighing 1 pound 14 ounces, this hanger sword is well balanced and comfortable to handle. Its size makes it easy to maneuver while still delivering the presence expected from a military blade of the Revolutionary War era. It’s substantial without being cumbersome, staying true to the practical intent of the original designs.
Included with the sword is a brown leather-covered scabbard fitted with cast solid steel hardware. The fittings are designed to match the locket and chape, providing a cohesive and historically inspired presentation. The scabbard protects the blade while completing the overall look, making it suitable for display, collection, or educational purposes.
The Cas Iberia Revolutionary War Hanger Sword is ideal for collectors, reenactors, and history enthusiasts who value authenticity and solid craftsmanship. It delivers a strong connection to the past through thoughtful design and durable materials, offering a piece that feels purposeful, balanced, and true to its origins.
