The Cutlass was the ideal weapon for both the Pirate and the Sailor. For a tool the Cutlass was ideal for the sea man and could be used for cutting through rope, canvas and wood. However, this was not what made the Cutlass notorious. It was the Cutlass ability to be used in close quarters as a boarding weapon. The Cutlass was made to be a hack and slash weapon and with its short curved blade it became a formidable sword in the close quarters of a ship. The Cutlass was a simple weapon and did not require the skill of a Rapier or a Dress Sword but was more effective than a saber. The Cutlass of the Pirate and the Sailor were very similar and most of the time the same, since the Pirates would take the swords from the sailors.
This is a replica of the style of Cutlass used during the 1600s. The sword can be displayed with pride or used for reenactments.
