SOON - From Toledo Spain
A NEW Design for RAKKASAH
THE 'OTTOMAN' Turkish Saber
"PERFECT BALANCE ALWAYS"
Made by some of the finest blacksmiths in Toledo,
Spain, each Saber is made by hand.
The blade is made of STAINLESS STEEL,
acid-engraved with the RAKKASAHTM
logo and design and fitted with a
BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED BRASS HANDLE..
This 36-inch Saber is the finest saber or
sword on the market for Dance
This beautiful and very dramatic Saber is SOON ready for delivery.
Please Note: There is a limited number of the 'OTTOMAN' TURKISH SABER,
when these are gone, they will not be produced again.
(Please be sure to look for the RAKKASAHTM
LOGO. Our first RAKKASAHTM Sword
has many imitations that do not meet our quality standards.)
