Antiqued Pirate Boarding Cutlass Temporarily Out of Stock!
Note: These swords do not come with a sheath (most boarding cutlasses had none).
When you think of a pirate, you don't typically think of clean shaven gentlemen with spotless shirts and gleaming smiles, do you? Neither do we. The term "pirate" is synonymous with swarthy, unshaven and dangerous men who spend way too much time on ships and can kill a man with a rusty crowbar if it came down to it. This boarding cutlass is just the sort of weapon a real pirate would have.
The sword, crafted by the masters in Spain, is an acurate 15th - 16th century pirate cutlass. A good part of the historical accuracy of this weapon is the ingenious "aging" process that its makers put it through. The sword has the look of an actual antique, complete with carefully plotted rust speckles and acid-etched pits and abrasions. This is the perfect cutlass for an accurate pirate costume, or as a decoration piece that could easily pass as an antique.
The 26" unsharpened blade almost looks Damascened with its swirls and patterns of acid-etched age lines. The brass-finished hand guard matches the sword, with speckles, streaks and tiny bits of planned corrosion. A polished hardwood grip completes the authentic look of this weapon (and sets off the brass on the guard with it's lustrous reds, if we're allowed a moment of stylishness). Doesn't come with a sheath for several reasons, most notably a.)These types of swords were often kept inside trunks in large numbers, waiting to be handed out to the sailors, and b.) How could you show off the beautiful antiquing if the blade is in a sheath?
The weapon is light and feels comfortable in the hand. Truly a perfect weapon for stage, faire or wall. You can walk past would-be pirates with shiny, cookie cutter swords and give a good bellowing pirate laugh as you show them what a TRUE pirate sword looks like.
