Description
Modeled after the iconic boarding cutlasses relied upon by British sailors and marines during the Napoleonic era and well into the 19th century, this naval sword embodies the rugged functionality and heritage of a seafaring sidearm. Compact enough for maneuvering in close quarters, yet formidable in a clash, the cutlass was a sailor’s indispensable companion when repelling boarders or leading an attack across the gunwales.
This historically inspired reproduction showcases a hand-forged carbon steel blade with a brilliant polished finish that gleams in any light. The distinctive curved profile lends a balanced feel—excellent for safe stage combat or ceremonial use. A sturdy D-shaped brass guard encircles the knuckles, offering vital protection during choreographed engagements or handling demonstrations. The grip is carefully wrapped in genuine leather, enhancing comfort and control in all conditions. The sword comes complete with a black leather scabbard adorned with antique-finish brass fittings at the throat and tip, reinforcing the traditional naval appearance. Whether you’re assembling a British naval uniform, crafting a convincing pirate captain ensemble, or for a maritime history collection, this cutlass is a striking focal point. It also makes an outstanding theatrical prop, display accent, or collector’s keepsake evocative of naval adventure.
