1stMate Matt Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 This last one is our new "D-ring" guard. We have been in design mode the last few weeks. What do you all think? All of these sold the first day that they were available at a festival.

callenish gunner Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 the details on some of these are fine looking blades lad ...that very first hilt has a certain appeal to it along with the blade style on the last photo in the series!!!

1stMate Matt Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thank you sir. We used to make 3 standard cutlass blades all at 28" long. The last 2 years we have had tons of requests to make shorter cutlasses more like a boarding cutlass and now we make more shorties at 21-24" then we do the full length. I prefer a short blade for both use on stage and for costume wear. Long blades always get in the way. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stMate Matt Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Here are a few more designs. These both have bronze skulls that we cast. side view. side view Most of these pictured here are for pirate re-enactors so they have an aged finish. We also offer all of these polished. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Matt, you got my attention with that first skull one. How much without a skull? Love the guard on that, just don't need a skullybone. Seriously interested in knowing more about this. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i'm with bo on that one ...nice hand guard -skull is too hollywood for my taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stMate Matt Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 That one with a pommel and basic blade would run $325 retail. The skulls are great sellers at festivals for me. I prefer a nice faceted pommel myself. The bills must get paid :) -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Lasseter Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 All of them are grand indeed... I'm fancyin the D-ring guard... How's the balance on that one?

1stMate Matt Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Drings normally run right at $300. Balance depends on what blade it has. I try to keep them fast in hand. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Okay guys, now don't be jealous, but here is my husband, Chain Shot, with his new Bootstrap sword, which he purchased at Ojai last month. He loves it, but still needs a scabbard. Then there's my own little weapon... I like to think the R stands for Ransom...LOL ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

1stMate Matt Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I keep meaning to get back to work on your cutlass Bilge.

Capt Thighbiter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Here are a few more designs. These both have bronze skulls that we cast. Matt, These new designs are sweet! I love this hilt! Would you mind snapping a few more angled pictures of the bronze skull sword pommel? Stynky - I have this cutlass, but with more of a 'cut-toe" blade then a cutlass type. The pommel and guard are even better lookin in person and with the thinner blade , its sneaky fast.

Ransom Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The cutlass is made by Windlass sword makers, and I bough it from a vendor at Ojai two years ago. You can google Windlass Swords and learn a bit about them. Also, Red-Handed Jill has one just like mine, but I don't know where she got it. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Cannibal Chrispy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Matt, you got my attention with that first skull one. How much without a skull? Love the guard on that, just don't need a skullybone. Seriously interested in knowing more about this.Bo Thats the guard I have and I love it. mine doesn't have a skull either. I've quit polishing the guard and it its developed a nice patina. I love that its kind of rough cut yet so intricate there are little hearts in it. thats why I fell in love with it.
