88CS - 1917 Cutlass
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
Steel’s® 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" curved blade and a half basket guard that’s
stamped out of heavy 18-guage high carbon steel, and 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’s rivets. The scabbard is an accurate reproduction of the
original and is made of high quality leather and features brass and
copper fixtures. It can be worn comfortably at the side on a pistol belt
without chafing its owner.
