Description
Sabre Steel is a bright, polished metallic silver that evokes the clean edge of a freshly forged blade or the gleam of industrial steel. Engineered with ultra-fine metallic pigments, this paint delivers smooth, even coverage with a subtle shimmer that catches the light—especially effective when drybrushed or edge-highlighted. Its tone sits between chrome and dull silver, making it perfect for mid-brightness steel finishes.
The name “Sabre Steel” draws inspiration from the refined, hardened blades of cavalry sabers, bayonets, and ceremonial swords, where steel was not just functional but symbolic of precision and power. It works equally well on futuristic tech, medieval weapons, and modern military gear.
