Wooden Pirate Cutlass Sword – Training Prop with Knuckle Guard

Bring the daring spirit of the high seas to life with this Wooden Pirate Cutlass Sword, a faithful wooden replica of the classic naval weapon used by sailors and privateers during the 17th and 18th centuries. Compact, curved, and perfectly balanced, the cutlass was the preferred blade for close-quarters combat aboard ships, where space was tight and speed meant survival.

This handcrafted wooden version recreates the proportions and handling of the original steel cutlass while remaining safe for light training, choreography, and display. Made from steam beech wood, it has a broad curved blade, a practical knuckle guard for hand protection, and a well-balanced weight that delivers an authentic grip and movement.

Historically, cutlasses were prized for their versatility, equally effective for boarding enemy ships, defending rigging, or commanding presence on deck. Training weapons like this were essential tools for practice, discipline, and education, allowing sailors to master swordsmanship without risk.

Whether used in historical enthusiasts, theatre performances, or pirate portrayals, this practice sword captures the essence of maritime warfare and adventure.
