Atrim Design Cutlass

The cutlass is a naval version of the largely land-based hanger. Both swords are similar to short sabres with a single edge and slight curve. The short blades are intended for confined spaces and close quarters combat, quick and efficient, and surprisingly well balanced with  a balance point of 2 inches. This makes this cutting sword positively deadly on the thrust. This style of sword saw the height of its use in the 18th century, particularly amid the Golden Age of Piracy. Famed-privateer-turned-pirates such as Benjamin Hornigold Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, frequently favored a side arm of this configuration.  While this version invokes the spirit of cutlass patterns from the period, this is particular style was created by Angus Trim.

A word on Atrim & T Pearce design swords:

Angus Trim stands as one of the giants in high performance sword production, along with other greats such as Tinker Pearce, Hank Reinhardt, and Paul Chen. These visionaries, among others, took the collected works of Ewart Oakeshott and brought a scholarly vision to sword production. They've managed to revive and sustain a dying art and we are pleased to partner with brands such as Hanwei and Kingston Arms, who work so closely with such respected names that bring care, and personal hands-on experience to every piece they design and craft. Gus and Pearce's swords take into account harmonic balance, point of balance, weight, taper, and every other factor considered too minute for attention in most lower-mid quality production swords. This attention to detail allows for not only beautiful weapons, but extremely functional blades that float and dance in the hand. 

These are simply the best performance swords at this price point available in the world.
