HISTORICAL CONTEXT:

Sabres emerged as versatile boarding weapons used by sailors and privateers between the 17th and 18th centuries. Their broad blades and protective handguards served both attack and defense in close combat. These training swords allowed crews and soldiers to practice safely before facing the dangers of real combat.

The pirate cutlass, unmistakable for its short, wide blade and knuckle guard, was a staple weapon aboard ships during the Golden Age of Piracy. Its compact shape allowed sailors to fight effectively in close quarters, defend rigging, or repel boarding attacks.

This wooden pirate sword recreates the look and handling of these historical weapons in a safe form for modern training and performance. Made of durable wood, it features a smooth natural finish and a distinctive curved blade profile. The integrated knuckle guard and solid grip allow you to practice cuts, guards, and drills with confidence.

With a balance point 7 inches from the guard, this wooden scimitar offers a realistic feel that closely resembles the handling dynamics of real steel sabers. The weight of approximately 410 grams provides stability and feedback for controlled practice, making it equally suitable for theatrical choreography or educational demonstrations.
