A cutlass is a type of sword that came into it's full development in the 17th century. It is generally shorter than other similar swords like the saber. There are lots of variations but typically it is a single edged sword with only one side being sharpened and a basket hilt to cover the hand of the wielder. |
We often associate the cutlass with pirates and there is truth in that. The cutlass often used by pirates and sailors because it was durable enough for general purpose use like cutting ropes and wood. Yet it still was useful as a weapon and means of intimidation. And being a smaller type of sword it was also more useful in closed quarters or on ships. They tend to be broad, short and robust. Having one side unsharpened also made it useful as a bludgeon.
