think about the fact that in those days, they would stick cold steel into their political enemies until they were dead...

There was an episode of a sword making show called “forged in flame” or maybe “forged in fire” where the contestants had to make Washington’s colichmarde.

That show is awesome and makes me feel like a piece of shit for not even knowing how to forge stuff.

Wouldn't that be a Saber?

Because "Washington's Christmas Saber" sounds really cool

Technically, it was called a 'hunting sword.' It was George Washington's 'battle sword' throughout the war.

Thanks! I'd never heard of a hunting sword or cuttoe before today.

I think Glenn Beck bought this to carve his Christmas ham.

That was actually one he was given later, the one he had Christmas was likely same style but not as decorated.

I watched a lot of forged in fire.
