poland seems to be one of the nations in europe where for a long time use of swords in combat has been popular in the military, from what i understand even in the 1930s there was saber fencing being taught and premoted as useful technique in modern combat,
the older swords from the 1700s .. some are very attractive, and to admit the balance and feel is much better than many others from western europe from the same time.

i do wounder is there still any production of swords in poland today,
is there still a firm making swords or the military or for private sale?

and does the military still teach any form of sword fencing of some sort to maintain the tradition?
