According to Pirate myth the Cutlass found its origins with the Buccaneers in the Caribbean. However, whether this is a historical fact is still unknown. It is more likely that the Cutlass was an evolution of the falchion (short sword used during the middle ages). This Cutlass is a reproduction of those used during the high reign of the Pirates. The sword is built sturdy with sturdy knuckle bow and solid steel handle. The Cutlass was also not only limited to the sea. The Cutlass was also used by cavalry. The curved single sided blade was extremely effective in cutting motions and ideal for combat from horse back. The blade of the sword is 440 stainless steel with a mirror polished finish. The blade has been made in a Scimitar Style. The sword comes already sharpened. The scabbard of the sword is dark brown leather built tough. Three snaps tightly secure the blade into the scabbard. The scabbard features a leather belt loop. The guard is a solid design with a one piece construction knuckle bow and cross guard. The knuckle bow has been ridged for better deflection and butting capabilities. The handle is solid steel with a spiral design. The pommel of the sword is an ornate capstan rivet.
