1917 Cutlass by Cold Steel

In 1917, the U.S. Navy decided to replace its Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous service for 57 years, with a new model. Cold Steels modern recreation of this classic fighting sword is as authentic as possible. It is virtually an exact copy of an original in the personal collection of Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson. Our 1917 Cutlass features the signature 25 inch curved blade and a half basket guard that is stamped out of heavy 18 gauge high carbon steel. Both the blade and guard are blued to resist rusting. The handle is made from carefully shaped hardwood, painted brown, and secured to the tang by three heavy brass cutler rivets. The scabbard is an accurate reproduction of the original and is made of high quality leather with brass and copper fixtures. It can be worn comfortably at the side on a pistol belt without chafing its owner.
