Shell Guard Cutlass SM36200

The Kingston Arms Shell Guard Cutlass is a masterfully crafted weapon that combines tradition and performance. With a 23.75” blade made from durable 1566 steel, it provides exceptional cutting and thrusting power. The robust 15.5” fuller on either side of the blade enhances strength while reducing weight, making the sword agile in combat. The stainless-steel shell guard provides excellent hand protection with an elegant yet straightforward design, ensuring you can wield it with confidence and style. A smaller thumb guard complements the shell guard, offering extra security and control during use.

The 4.25” grip is wrapped in leather for a secure, comfortable hold and features wire-wrapped ends for additional grip stability. The stainless-steel pommel is buttoned to ensure durability and functionality, whether you're using the pommel for utility or leveraging it for a more aggressive tactic, like skull-cracking when necessary. At just over two pounds, this cutlass is lightweight enough for quick maneuvers yet still delivers the raw power you need to take control in battle. It's 30.25" overall. 

This design is inspired by the golden age of piracy, paying tribute to notorious figures like Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. While there are no definitive records of his exact weapon, many illustrations show him wielding a cutlass with a similar shell guard. This cutlass embodies the spirit of that era, where sailors and pirates alike depended on their swords for survival on the high seas.

The included leather-wrapped scabbard is as impressive as the weapon itself. It’s adorned with a stainless-steel chape and locket, the latter featuring a button for easy attachment to a sword belt. The scabbard provides both function and style, ensuring that your cutlass is both protected and ready for action whenever you are.

The Shell Guard Cutlass from Kingston Arms is a versatile, reliable, and beautifully designed weapon perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of naval history. Whether you're looking for a display piece or a functional sword for reenactments or historical events, this cutlass stands as a testament to craftsmanship and the iconic weaponry of the golden age of piracy.
