5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the weak of wrist, December 12, 2010

I purchased the saber version many years ago from Cold Steel. It is a well made and a heavy, sturdy weapon. The item came packed in what appeared to be cosmoline to prevent it from rusting in warehouse storage. I cleaned it up with alcohol and acetone, and applied auto wax to the metal finish. The item has yet to rust with proper care and waxing.

This item is heavy and the balance portion of the Cutlass is far forward from the hilt. This is standard for a weapon that is also designed to chop. It will take a great deal of wrist strength to wield the item properly. Be careful, this item is no toy!

Also do not leave the item in its scabbard. The item has a leather scabbard that will attract moisture that may rust the item.
I keep mine in the open on a display rack.

this thing is sturdy. I would wear a good leather glove with this if you plan to do some heavy chopping. Not katana sharp, but you could separate a limb with out too much trouble. Its so well put together that I want to take lessons from a qualified instructor.

Ok, first, OW. It's got poke and sharp all over it. It sliced in twain the two boxes it came in. With minimal effort I might add. It does everything the videos on you tube showed. Go look it up. I'm now looking forward to the zombie apocalypse. At least until I get tired and bored of popping zombie melons with this awesome chunk of steel mayhem.
