Pirate Sword (Skull Crossbones);

Up for sale is a pirate cutlass saber inspired by the sword used by Jack Sparrow in Pirates of Caribbean. The cutlass is best known as the pirate's weapon of choice, the naval side arm, likely because it was robust enough to hack through heavy ropes, canvas, and wood. It was also short enough to use in relatively close quarters, such as during boarding actions, in the rigging, or below decks. Another advantage to the cutlass was its simplicity of use. The cutlass required less training than the rapier or small sword, and was more effective as a combat weapon than the full sized sword. This beautiful cutlass sword features a 440 stainless steel constructed blade. The blade is sharpened, and measures at 22". The blade is mirror polished. The guard is a solid design with a one piece construction knuckle bow and cross guard. The knuckle bow has been ridged for better deflection and butting capabilities. The handle is solid steel with a spiral design. The pommel of the sword is an ornate capstan rivet. Comes with the sword is a wood constructed scabbard. At the drag of the scabbard is brass with a ball point tip and two crossed pistols in relief. At the throat of the scabbard is a brass with a skull and crossed cutlass swords.
