A replica, er, ahem...,
By Old Sea Dog 1957 (Citrus Heights, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captain Jack Sparrow Caribbean Pirate Cutlass Sword (Misc.)
Sure it is called a replica, because who would admit making weapons for modern-day buccaneers? I received this neat cutlass as a gift. I found it to be very solidly constructed, and believe me if needed this item would take (and give) punishment. The 440 Stainless Steel blade on mine arrived semi-sharp, and for clarification these steels can definitely TAKE and HOLD an edge. In fact the 440 steels will hold an edge better than some current Spanish steels (read the Sword forums). The heavy handguard is well-detailed and made of nonmagnetic metal, perhaps brass but I cannot tell without risk of damaging the finish. It is certainly not pewter or aluminum. The pommel is probably hollow, but holds very tight to the handle.
About the only weak area is the scabbard...this is where the "replica" description becomes apparent. It is made of plastic (with metal embellishments), and will not hold up to much abuse. Also, you may need to purchase a "frog" if you wish to wear this with your "uniform" or from a belt. So carry on my swashbuckling friends...hope this helps!

Nice design but questionable quality,

This review is from: Captain Jack Sparrow Caribbean Pirate Cutlass Sword (Misc.)
This cutlass is nicely designed. The thick metal guard, with an attractive three-masted galleon relief, makes the hilt very heavy. The skull and bones accents on the throat and tip of the scabbard offer a nice piratical touch. The blade is well-crafted (for a display item) and beautifully polished. There are, however, some quality issues with this Chinese-made item. The wooden scabbard does not hold the blade tightly, especially at the throat, making the blade all to easy to slide out of its sheath. The scabbard also lacks a locket, which is useful for wearing the cutlass and peace-tying (peace-bonding) the blade to the sheath. My sword came with the handle significantly offset from the hilt. This was easily fixed by disassembling the entire hilt and then reassembling it for a tighter fit, but the handle can still be moved when wielding the sword. All in all, it is a handsome piece for the price, but a few improvements would make this cutlass even better.

Very impressive,

This review is from: Captain Jack Sparrow Caribbean Pirate Cutlass Sword (Misc.)
I read the reviews, and I have to agree. This is a great sword for a pirate costume. I love the fact that it's sharp as hell, but I'm sure I'll eventually hate the fact that it is sharp as hell. If you're dressing up as a pirate, you won't be able to beat this sword for what it cost. I don't know anything about costume swords, but had I paid $60 for this, I still would have thought I received a great deal.
