Szco Supplies Naval Cutlass Sword

I'll start this off by saying that this is a terrible sword. It's top heavy, not balanced in the slightest, made from cheap stainless steel, and the brass guard is extremely thin. It has no edge at all, the blade is rounded. I give it 5 stars because I knew it wasn't a sword when I bought it. this is a decorative piece, not a weapon. it was built to look nice, not work well as a sword, and it excels at what it was made for. A lot of people said theirs had dents in the handguard, but mine did not have any out of the box. the brass is thin, though, so it could easily dent. The leather on the handle is amazing, everything is fitted nicely, the length and blade profile are perfect, and the scabbard is legitimately very nice. Despite being a wall hanger, and not an actual sword, this piece does have a full tang. you can see the steel from the tang in the center of the brass pommel. that being said, it is a cylindrical tang, so probably a rat tail tang.

Reviews were all over the place so I kept my expectations low. I was pleasantly surprised.Sword has a dull edge which for me is good. It also came pre-oiled, which I appreciated. Sword is well made and sturdy. My favorite thing is that it is nondescript and plain so it makes for a great costume sword.Scabbard is well constructed with a pleather-like exterior and brass fixtures.Perfect for a high-end costume or as a display piece.

All metal construction, but clearly made more for costume use than for anything else. Very good value for the price. The threaded steel tang is inserted into a brass cap at the end of the handle and ground flat- not that attractive, but easily concealed. The guard is thin and dents easily- but as it's for a pirate costume, this actually lends it authenticity. This sword comes with no edge, but it does have a potentially lethal point, and I would never put anything like this into the hands of fools, drunkards or children. Decent sheath- in toto, it looks pretty good. The steel blade has some heft to it, and requires support- use a frog and and an over-the-shoulder harness if you want this to stay on comfortably without pulling your pants off. I made mine- but you can get stuff like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Swordmaster-Black-Leather-Hanger-Baldric/dp/987900065X/ref=sr_1_70?ie=UTF8&qid=1477443474&sr=8-70&keywords=sword+belt

I just received my cutlass today and I'm very pleased with my purchase. A very well crafted replica of a Navel sword that will excentiate my Fathers Navy display to Honor his memory and service. Thank You !

Sturdy and has a nice heft. Love the brass basket hilt. Nice leather grip. All in all, the perfect addition to any pirate costume. (Or privateer, if you're touchy).

Buy it

Good solid sword for prop. Would not recommend for younger pirates, as it is heavy and real metal. I got two.

Remarkable quality for the price!! This is a stainless steel blade, certainly not battle-ready but still good quality steel. The hilt and pommel are hammered and riveted brass, heavy gauge. The scabbard is leather with brass fittings. Well-made, great quality!!
