That sword looks good but its not for any kind of use. The tang is a tiny little rod that wouldnt hold up at all. So if what you want is a costume piece then this is a great deal but for any use I would try to find something with a full tang.

"On a personal level, having the 9p21 variation tells you that your own personal risk is increased, but in middle age, women are at a fairly low risk anyway, and that 20 percent increased risk doesn't bump you up to medium or high risk for cardiovascular disease," she said.

That sword looks to be a replica of a specific Dutch Cutlass dated 1763 page 76, bottom of page, that is illustrated in Boarder’s Away Vol. 1. However, the style goes into the 1600’s per the book.

The scabbard looks to be more of a machete cover than a sword scabbard. It might be the scabbard is why Loyalist is selling this sword for $100 cheaper then Windlass which has a more sword style looking scabbard? But then again when I look at the cross guard on the Windlass in Captain Satan's post and then look closely at the Loyalist picture it appears that there maybe a significant difference in width of the cross guard, with the Windlass being significantly larger. Then again, might just be the photo or my bad eyes.

Note- This sword (and the Windlass) have a separate cross guard, and shell guard that slide into place vs. in the original that it’s my understanding were not separate and were actually part of the sword. Boarder’s Away doesn’t speak to this point, its conjecture on my part they were all part of the blade based on what I have seen constructed. If I am off base here, please feel free to correct me.

Many period weapons have puny little tangs (lol). I am amazed that they have held up in battle at all.
The Japanese had the right idea.

One of these days I am going to attach a late 17th century English basket hilt to a slightly shortened katana blade so that I don't
have to worry about such things.

I have a friend that mounts katana blades in basket hilts. They rock! Either way I would fight on stage with a crowd with a rat tail tang... Not a good idea.

Any pics or links to your friends work?

Most people associate pierced baskets as Scottish thing. But they were quite popular with the English as well.
I have never seen a cutlass with a pierced basket. Other than in the movie Cutthroat Island. But I'd
still love to have one for my Hollywood Ren faire persona

An X-ray tech friend of mine and I took photos and radiographed some private collections several years ago and we
shocked at the number of flimsy rat tail tangs that we found.

Do a search on Sinclair Sabers. They were a type of infantry hanger from the late 16th, early 17th centuries, Named, supposedly, after a Scottish captain who commanded a mercenary force. Years ago, Museum Reps had one in their catalogue, when they were doing better work. I wish there were more out there. As a late 16th c persona, I'd like a couple of my crew to have them. I made mine by attaching an old schiavona hilt to a cutlass blade. The extra weight of the hilt gives a better balance to the piece and makes it much easier to snap around.

On the original question, I have a Loyalist Arms blunerbuss that I've been very happy with, but I know nothing about their blades.

Yea I am working on our site. We got hacked.

[Pirate Petee]

I have it and it feels pretty solid. Beautiful sword.

[John Maddox Roberts]

Walter Matthau had a cutlass with a Scottish-style basket in the movie "Pirates." I'm thinking of cobbling one together with a Cold Steel Scottish basket and an old MRL cutlass blade I have. Should look stylish.

[callenish gunner]

Scottish Grenadiers used a basket-hilted hanger/cutlass beginning around 1704 in both steel and brass mounts ...From some of the swords in the G. Neuman Collection ....I'll try to get some photos of them in a couple of weeks

[Joe Pyrat]

I'll have to agree with Petee, I've got one and it is the best balanced, non-custom, sword I've purchased.
