Pre-licence Gabrielle Sais from Todd’s Costumes

Hi everyone! Time to share something really cool.

These are Gabrielle Sais replicas made by Todd’s Costumes. These particular ones were part of the first line that he did before he got the license to do an official replica run. I don’t know how many of these he made but I have only ever seen a few around.

They definitely are a stunning replica. The body is made from aluminium with a leather wrapped handle in a herringbone pattern. The herringbone pattern in this version of Todd’s sais is more detailed than on the official replica line he did later on with the official run having a much thicker leather braiding.

I really like how the casting was not perfect. The hilt has imperfections and the blades are smooth but with pitted marks. It really gives them a ‘used’ feel and like a weapon made in ancient times.

In this official photo, you can see how Gabrielle’s sais had pitted marks and imperfections just like these replicas.

These sais are well weighted and feel good in your hand. One is 331g and the other 328g, with both measuring 44cm in length each. They aren’t sharp, but could definitely do some damage if used with intent.

There were a few different lines of sais replicas made- both official and unofficial, with each one having their own defining features and characters. When comparing these pre-license Todd’s Sais to the Roman Empire Sais, Todd’s have finer braiding, more shine and a thinner body. I can talk about my Roman Empire ones at another time. 😉

From what I can find using the Wayback Machine, these sais were available through Todd’s Costumes website in 2003 and 2004. By 2005, on his website he was only selling sais straps and not the sais themselves. In 2006 he started selling the 1000 unit limited edition licensed replica which he sold until 2008. If anyone has any more information about these sais, please let me know. I find it so interesting.

Fun fact- the picture he showed on his website while advertising the licenced run is a picture of these ones- the unlicensed. 😊

I didn’t get mine back then- I acquired them from a seller many years later. Sometimes I wonder what adventures they had before they found a home in my display case. 

Researching on the Wayback Machine- talk about internet in the early 2000s nostalgia! I have to include a screenshot of how he described these sais back in 2003. It’s fantastic. 😂

Thanks so much for reading. xo
