Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this sword to use with a pirate costume, and it certainly looks the part, but there were a few shortcomings.The scabbard is fairly well made, but the brass stud that holds a real cutlass in its frog (the thingie you hang the scabbard from your belt with) isn't attached to the scabbard, as it would be in the genuine article. Instead, it's a separate casting that does nothing useful whatsoever.The frog itself is made of a particularly stretchy variety of pleather. This means that the scabbard slips free of the frog after a few minutes of wear, dumping the scabbard on the ground. I fashioned a better frog using leather scraps left over from another project.The sword itself is quite convincing, has the proper heft, and screams "pirate!" without having to paste little skulls and crossbones all over it.If you want detailed historical accuracy, keep looking. If you want an inexpensive accessory for a nautical costume and are able to deal with its shortcomings, this cutlass and scabbard is a bargain.

This impressive replica is a must have for the Civil War buff. The 25 1/2" blade is constructed from high carbon steel. The wire wrapped handle is surrounded by the brass basket guard designed for hand protection in close quarter battles. Includes leather wrapped sheath.
