Description

The École Polytechnique sword, known as the “tangential”. This high-quality white weapon is a ceremonial sword by the French brand BALP used at École Polytechnique. Its name comes from the fact that it is worn tangentially to the thigh, in accordance with the red stripe of the uniform trousers.

Balp manufactory was established in 1830, inspired by the most beautiful French weapon smithies. Its reputation and the highest quality of production have spread throughout France and beyond. Later generations aimed to uphold the tradition and know-how.

Therefore, we have the pleasure and honor to present to you the BALP brand, which remains a benchmark of quality. Their team’s experience, rooted in four generations of smithing tradition, guarantees true product knowledge. The development of the BALP brand is also part of a changing world, where know-how from different countries has been combined to offer ceremonial equipment that meets the needs of major armies.

The development of all sabers and swords is based on original models. The manufactory aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. That’s why they want to present sabers and swords worthy of history.

All BALP sabers, swords, and daggers are handcrafted, following traditional knowledge passed down from generation to generation. A quality guarantee, reinforced by the passion of highly skilled smith masters.

The manufactory supplies models to the navy, defense ministries, interior ministries, as well as to officers of leading military academies such as the National Officer School of Gendarmerie, Coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also to schools, ministries, regiments, and military centers in many countries.

Additional information Accessories included: Heavy fabric cover, BALP, special saber. Delivered with a quality certificate. Stainless Steel: The main advantage of using stainless steel is, as the name suggests, protection against oxidation. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel does not require surface treatment to protect against oxidation. All our blades are traditionally forged and hardened. The use of sabers and swords as parade weapons no longer justifies the use of carbon steels, which shorten the life of the blades. 24K Gold Plating: Gold plating is considered the best finish available and provides additional added value. Gold plating is a durable and non-corrosive finish, therefore it protects very well against oxidation. We use electrolytic baths, which allow us to obtain 24-carat gold plating (approximately 99.3 to 99.7% gold). Gold plating is also very resistant to fading over time.
