Kingdom of Arms Pirate Captain's Cutlass

Hand Forged Pirate Captain Cutlass with solid brass furniture - The Bruce Brookhart Collection from Kingdom of Arms

This form of cutlass, known as a hanger, saw wide use throughout the western world both in the hunt and in war. With its short blade it was ideal for use in crowded shipboard conflicts but was also prized for it’s ease to carry as it was small and light and allows for freedom in movement when running or riding. This example would be at home at a sea captain’s side or beneath a gentleman’s overcoat.

This sword is like a whisper in the hand and extremely fast and well balanced. Parts from polished brass feature seashells in the design and are effective hand protection.

Wood grip covered in rich black glove leather. Wood covered in leather scabbard with belt frog is included. Blade is tough 5160-carbon steel.

About the designer, Bruce A. Brookhart

Hello my name is Bruce Allen Brookhart and I have actively been researching edged weapons for the last 50 years.

During that period I worked with Hank Reinhardt for over 17 years and consulted with Ewart Oakeshott for about 10 years until shortly before his passing. I am proud to be able to say that these two late, great gentlemen were my friends and I have gleaned, I felt, a lot of knowledge about the subject from this association and my own research.

For the past 30 years I have made literally hundreds of prototypes of edged weapons both exact replicas of museum pieces and pieces from private collections along with my own Fantasy designs. The weapons in this collection are all my own designs that are heavily related to weapons that were used in history but are all “of a type known” and not per say replicas of any certain weapon.

Cheers,
Bruce A. Brookhart
