This review is long overdue, I bought the cutlass back in 2011 or 2012. It has held up quite well to my tests, the guard is fitted remarkably well and the construction overall is very solid. The only issue is the steel that used for the guard, which is too soft in my opinion.

The extremely thin blade makes it very nimble in the hand and performs like a machete, good for cutting branches. It's fun to use for cutting water bottles and such but does not cut tatami mats properly, mainly due to the flexibility and light weight.

Great weapon for skinny pirates, I suppose. :)
