The Cutlass is best known as the sailor's weapon of choice, the naval side arm, likely because it was also robust enough to hack through heavy ropes, canvas, and wood. It was also short enough to use in relatively close quarters, such as during boarding actions, in the rigging, or below decks. Our Pirate Boarding Cutlass features a brass full bowl guard, pommel and leather handle. The 23.5" Curved carbon steel blade fits nicely into the leather scabbard with brass furniture.
