Portuguese general's saber with scabbard

This high-quality bladed weapon is a ceremonial sabre, a model used in the Portuguese army.

The Balp brand was established in 1830, inspired by the finest French weapon forges. Its reputation and top-quality production spread throughout France and beyond its borders. Subsequent generations sought to uphold the tradition and expertise.

Therefore, we have the pleasure and honour of presenting BALP, a company that remains a benchmark of quality. Their team, with experience stemming from four generations of forging tradition, guarantees genuine expertise in their products. The development of the BALP brand is also part of a changing world, where the know-how of different countries has been combined to offer ceremonial equipment that meets the needs of major armies.

The development of all sabres and swords is based on original models. The brand aims to stand out by returning to traditions consistent with works from the era. Therefore, they wish to present sabres and swords worthy of history.

All BALP sabres, swords, and daggers are hand-forged, in accordance with traditional knowledge passed down from generation to generation. A guarantee of quality, cemented by the passion of highly skilled master forgers.

The brand supplies models to the national navy, ministries of defence, ministries of the interior, as well as for officers of major military schools, such as the National Gendarmerie Officers School, the Coëtquidan schools (Saint Cyr, EMIA...), but also schools, ministries, regiments, and military centres in many countries.
