The West Point Cadet Sword is issued to cadet officers of the US Military Academy for ceremonial occasions and other events where their uniforms are labeled as "under arms." The swords are given out to Cadets in the 4th (final) year, and usually have to be returned to the Academy after their time at West Point is done. Although the blade is straight and there is no knuckle guard, cadets and staff still refer to it as a "saber" due to commands used in its handling and utilization.
"The West Point-specific Cadet Sword is sold only to current cadets and alumni. The basic cadet sword might not be made from the same materials specified by the Academy and is sold without USMA heraldry, and can be purchased almost anywhere. The basic cadet sword has been or is made in Germany, India, Spain, and China, but not all swords are of the same quality. " This German made sword is impeccably made and a beautiful piece of art.
The customer who sold this sword to us told us he only took it out of the cloth sleeve once and then put it away. It is in such immaculate shape you couldn't tell it wasn't just ordered from the company who made it.
