Cutlass - High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword-16.5"- Pirate Sword

Cutlass, 1095 Steel, 16.5 inches

A short cutlass in 1095 high carbon steel, 16.5 inches overall. The cutlass is the sailor's sword: short and broad so it can be swung below decks and in the rigging, with a guard that covers the hand. This is the compact size, closer to a large knife than a full boarding cutlass. Wood grip with brass bolsters.

The blade

1095 is a plain high carbon steel with about 0.95 percent carbon, roughly double the carbon of the 1045 steel used in most production blades. It takes a very hard edge, typically 56 to 58 HRC, holds it through hard work, and sharpens back easily. It is not stainless: wipe it after use and keep a light coat of oil on it.
