SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kingston Arms Atrim Cutlass Brown is a purpose-built fixed blade sword that merges functional design with historical influence. Designed by famed swordsmith Angus Trim, this cutlass pays homage to German Messers and 16th-century pirate sabers, while carving out a style of its own. It isn’t a replica—it’s a reimagining, forged for those who appreciate the balance between period aesthetics and contemporary performance.
At the core is a 25.75-inch blade forged from 9260 high-carbon spring steel, known for its resilience under stress and excellent edge retention. The blade features three fullers that run down its length, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity. A mirror of battlefield efficiency, this blade is made to move quickly and bite deep.
The hilt is where the artistry comes through. A stainless steel swept guard curves to protect the hand, matched by a wheel-style pommel for counterbalance. The grip is a hardwood core wrapped tightly in brown leather, offering a secure hold during swings and cuts. Together, these components lend the cutlass a sense of control and fluid motion, while remaining true to the swashbuckling lineage it draws from.
Measuring 31.75 inches overall, the Atrim Cutlass has a 4.25-inch handle and a point of balance sitting 4 inches from the guard—perfectly placed for responsive handling and quick recovery. At just 2 lbs 4 oz, it’s light enough for fast maneuvers but carries enough mass to deliver effective cuts. The spine measures 6mm thick at the guard, tapering toward the point for an aggressive profile without compromising durability.
Every Atrim Cutlass includes a richly detailed leather scabbard, embossed with a thistle motif that elevates its presence. The scabbard also features a practical belt loop, allowing for ease of carry whether you’re outfitted for reenactment, a cutting demo, or simply want it displayed as a centerpiece.
The Kingston Arms Atrim Cutlass Brown is a refined, high-performance blade that doesn't trade grit for beauty—it brings both in equal measure. Get this unique sword today at SMKW!
