Skull Crossbones Caribbean Pirate Cutlass Sword

Description

This is the newest addition to our sword family, a pirate style cutlass with a solid design and intricate detail. The sword is almost perfectly balanced with a solid steel guard and full knuckle style guard. The fittings of the sword are very impressive with a detailed skull and cross bones on the scabbard throat. The sword was made to impress on all levels. A real pirate cutlass will have the hand guard, or "bell" on only one side, The reason for this is so that at night the sword could be fastened more securely to a wall, so all the rocking of the boat would not knock it down, also space was precious but you still want some hand defense. Because of this these swords will mount quite well on a wall in your home as well! The Cutlass was a short slashing sword, ideal for the close- quarters battles aboard great sailing ships. It has developed a reputation as the pirate weapon of choice and this version by Denix exploits this connection, with the Skull-and-Crossbones emblazoned on the scabbard throat. Excellent for piratical re-creations!
