How to use / When it’s useful

The sabre is carried as part of the Grande Uniforme and must be worn according to service protocol. It is fastened to the left hip and secured to the belt using the appropriate pendaglio for correct positioning and balance.

Quick answer: wear the sabre on the left hip attached to the pendaglio of the belt. In most cases, adjust the pendaglio length so the grip sits approximately 15 cm below the waist when the scabbard rests on the ground.
