Leadership. It takes strength of character, courage of convictions, and a weapon more badass than all the other douchebags willing to follow you. For the discerning leader of a post-apocalyptic squad, ZT introduces the d'Capitan: Sabre, a design update to our retired D'Capitan: Cutlass. Inspired by the classic cavalry sabre, the d'Capitan is designed for the quick stab and slash, with a full steel handguard offering protection against other melee weapons. Its length (3 inches longer than the D'Cap: Cutlass) and handling dynamics (4-5 ounces lighter) give it the speed necessary for a parry and the reach necessary for mounted combat on horse or bike.The d'Capitan is a full-tang blade of 5160 spring steel with a hand-sculpted T6 aluminum handle, and comes with a black Kydex sheath. • Total Length: 34 in (.86m)• Blade Length: 27 in (.69m)• Handle Length: 7 in (.18m)• Grip Size: 4 in (.10m)• Steel Thickness: .25 in (6.35mm)• Weight: 2lb 4oz (1.02kg)• Release Date: December 2015
