Pirate Cutlass - Sword
|

|
The Pirate Cutlass sword has a high carbon steel 22in. blade, steel pommel and leather-covered wood handle. Scabbard is included. The cutlass is the weapon most associated with the pirates and was probably more common among them at times than even a flintlock pistol. The Pirate Cutlass is the one thing that would keep working after all the guns were discharged; a pistol took precious time for a reload, but another slash wound was just an arm swing away. With cutlasses being shorter than swords or sabres and having a broader, sturdier, curved blade, they were ideal for fighting in the close confines on or below deck. The Pirate Cutlasses were believed to have evolved from the 'Boucan' hunting knife of the French Buccaneers, and the blades needed to be sturdy for the other tasks on the ship like cutting down doors, cutting lines, and dividing pieces of eight. Their handles offered some cushioning with leather wrapped on the bone or ivory stock. Overall Length: 28" Blade Length: 22" |
