Build Your Own Cutlass Sword – Hand-Forged Custom Sword

Create your own custom cutlass sword by choosing your handle style, steel type, blade length, scabbard, color, engraving, and upgrades. Each cutlass is handcrafted to order using real materials for collectors, gifts, display, cosplay, and functional handling.

Choose from classic cutlass styles like Pirate, Spanish, Hanger, Cavalerie, Naval, Hitless, and more—or upload your own design for a fully custom build.

Whether you want a historically inspired naval cutlass, a pirate-style sword, or a completely one-of-a-kind custom blade, this is where your build begins.

Customize Your Cutlass Sword

1. Choose Your Cutlass Handle Style

Select a handle style that matches your vision, preferred look, and overall feel.

Options include:

  • Pirate
  • Spanish
  • Hanger
  • Cavalerie
  • Naval
  • Hitless
  • Custom Design (+$100)

These styles let you create a sword that feels classic, rugged, elegant, or completely unique.

Handmade—slight variations may occur.

2. Choose Your Steel

Stainless Steel
Low maintenance and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for display and light handling.

1095 Steel (+$40)
Stronger, more traditional, and better suited for a functional blade. Requires light oiling and regular care.

Damascus Steel (+$60)
Layered steel with a flowing pattern for premium craftsmanship and striking visual appeal.

All blades are made with real materials and built to feel substantial in hand.

3. Select Your Sword Length

Available in multiple overall lengths, from 20 inches to 75 inches.

Choose a shorter cutlass for a compact sidearm feel or a longer build for added reach, display impact, and a more dramatic look.

Because each sword is handcrafted, slight variations may occur.

4. Upgrade Your Blade

Optional upgrades let you build a sword that better matches your preferences for appearance, durability, and handling.

Sharpened (+$30)
Adds a functional cutting edge.

Full Tang (+$100)
Provides maximum durability and strength through the full length of the handle.

Fuller (+$40)
A fuller can improve balance, reduce weight, and add a traditional blade detail.

5. Choose Your Scabbard

Pick the scabbard style that best fits your custom cutlass.

Options include:

  • Standard Leather
  • Wrapped Wood (+$80)
  • Etched Leather (+$70)
  • Etched Wood (+$100)
  • Ornate Jeweled (+$200)

Whether you want something classic, decorative, or gift-worthy, your scabbard helps complete the overall look of the sword.

6. Pick Your Scabbard Color

Available colors include:

  • Brown
  • Black
  • Red (+$30)
  • Green (+$30)
  • Yellow (+$30)
  • Blue (+$30)

Choose a traditional finish or a bolder color to make your custom cutlass stand out.

7. Add Blade Engraving

Personalize your sword with custom blade engraving.

Options include:

  • Initials (+$60)
  • Name (+$80)
  • Date (+$70)
  • Sentence (+$90)
  • Logo/Image (+$120)

Blade engraving is ideal for gifts, commemorative pieces, collectors, and one-of-a-kind custom swords.

8. Add Etch Sheath Engraving

You can also personalize the sheath with custom etched engraving.

Options include:

  • Initials (+$20)
  • Name (+$40)
  • Date (+$30)
  • Sentence (+$50)

This is a great way to add a finishing touch and make your custom cutlass feel even more personal.

Upload Your Own Design

Want something completely unique?

Upload an image, sketch, or reference photo, and we’ll use it to help create your custom cutlass sword. You can also describe your idea, and our team will refine the design before production.

Every custom order is reviewed and confirmed before your made-to-order sword is built.

If you can imagine it, we can build it.

Crafted for Collectors, Display, and Real Handling Feel

Every custom cutlass sword is handcrafted using real materials and traditional swordmaking methods to deliver:

  • Solid construction
  • Real weight and balance
  • An authentic feel in hand
  • A finished piece that looks impressive on display

This is not a mass-produced decorative piece. It is a made-to-order custom sword built for collectors, enthusiasts, gifts, display, and functional handling.

Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in size, weight, finish, engraving, and pattern are normal.
