Incroyables and Merveilleuses, of the renewal of the Cane

The sabre Cane

A rareness that soon lasted

The sabre Cane appeared during the revolutionary times, around 1790 and for a short period. It is a strong Cane, that can be made of wood, of horn, of ray tail or other materials.

Its main characteristic stays in its curve, recalling the sabre's shape; it is also a powerful bludgeon, that provides a good defense to whom holds it in hands.

The sabre Cane appeared when wearing a sword or a sabre had been forbidden by the revolutionary government. This was a way of mockery for the benefit of the power who had forbidden any civilian to bear the sword or the sabre.
