A Kaskara is a traditional, straight, double-edged sword that strongly resembles a medieval European arming sword. In fact, they are so similar that many Kaskara blades are made in Passau, Germany just like European Knightly swords. In the past, Kasara’s were confused with Medieval European swords. The hilt is recognizable by its cruciform (cross-shaped) guard and flat, disk-shaped pommel. However, unlike European swords, the pommel is usually made of wood or leather and does not serve as a heavy metallic counterweight, giving the sword greater cutting power.

The Scabbard is often made of red-brown leather; the scabbard features a distinct leaf-shaped flare near the tip. Decorative versions could be made from exotic hides like crocodile or lizard skin.

The kaskara was an essential possession for men across central and eastern Sudan and remained a primary weapon in the region through the 1800’s. It was famously used by Mahdist warriors and Beja tribesmen during colonial conflicts with the British, such as the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. Today, it remains a powerful cultural symbol and status piece, often passed down through generations in Sudanese and Eritrean families. 

Conclusion: A lot of sword for very little money. Its first come first serve. Acquire one or all six for a pittance compared to a European medieval sword..
