You might be wondering why pirates carry with them short weapons compared to the lengthier samurais or swords. Well, technically speaking these are also considered swords, however, long swords are not advisable for pirates because most of their combats happen in compressed spaces. More hand-to-hand combats occur and when they actually have the opportunity to draw a sword, it better be something that he can use to stab when they are just a few inches away from the opponent.

However, we can still find several pirate swords available in Dungeon Knight today. Remember that some of these pirates were actually able to get a normal sword by looting some navy vessels who didn’t know better. Obviously, these navy soldiers were no-match with the short swords of the pirates.

But what exactly are these short swords we are talking about that later on in the World War II have also been used by the allied navy forces? These are called cutlasses. And it’s just great that Dungeon Knight offers some authentic replicas—the Pirate Cutlass with Scabbard that is perfect for our swords collections.

Now collectors would find these cutlasses interesting especially whenever they imagine Captain Jack Sparrow of the famous film trilogy, the Pirates of the Caribbean, slashing his way through a wall of British colonialists. The history behind the cutlasses creates more stories to tell whenever you show someone your collection. Isn’t that what collecting is all about? Telling other people about interesting stuff that are related to each and every piece that they find there?
