Carried during the 1600s and 1700s, this type of short sword was also called a hanger sword. The term cutlass was not used as an exclusive term for a sailors fighting sword until the 1800s. The Officers English Cutlass was frequently used by officers as a close quarters battle weapon because of its compact dimensions. This replica cutlass has a tough, tempered 1065 high carbon steel blade and a solid brass, heart-shaped guard characteristic of the period. The naval officer sword comes with a leather scabbard with a brass throat and tip. The functional sword is hand-forged with care and attention to detail.

Excellent blade, fits very nicely in the hand and cuts like a dream. Seems to be an appropriate length and weight for the type of blade. I would definitely recommend this to others.
