glennnn Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) My 1st cutlass. Perfect for quick boarding-parties, or those things that go bump in the night. Lightweight, welded construction on carbon-steel blade (length 24", plus handle). Very tough leather-wrapped handle and fitted scabbard. Yar. Edited September 28, 2010 by glennnn

wes1761 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Nice!!! If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....
Bilgemunky Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I've always been a fan of the basic, functional cutlass. These look to be two fine specimens! I AM BILGEMUNKY
glennnn Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Arrrr, thankee kindly ! I looked around at what was available, and decided to build my own. The problem with what they're marketing and selling is that "functional" seems to be the last consideration. Particularly in the handling, from the balance to the shape and feel of the grip. Your sword should feel like an extension of your body and your thought, not some uncomfortable wanky thing that wobbles around and hurts your hand and wrist to use.

Elena Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Beautiful. I "borrowed" them too for the case if I need a new cutlass for a character . I hope you don't mind, if I save them and rehost one of them when needed. I asked for this permission in all blades' threads... and I showed mine too, for a fair exchange, if anybody needs them.
