1860 US Navy Cutlass Sword with Leather-Wrapped Cast Metal Sheath

Got my 1860 U.S. Navy Cutlass Sword yesterday and I must say... IMPRESSIVE! For the price I wasn't expecting much but the brass guard is heavy beautiful where I expected stamped sheet brass (it looks like cast brass). For $50 you wont find a nicer sword!

This 1860 U.S. Navy Cutlass is by far the best replica of this sword I have ever seen. It is well built, and strongly made, the brass basket hilt was well plated, the plating will not wipe off when polished. This sword comes not only dull but without an edge, to sharpen this sword you must cut an edge first, if you never have cut an edge on anything I would take it to a professional. Once it's edged it will sharpen up nicely, and don't forget the Quarter edge. This Navy Cutlass is an excellent buy, all Navy Vets should have one. Thank you. Daniel of Nebraska.

Very impressive look. I will proudly display this sword. Shorter than my other military swords, but I imagine that was a big plus in ship to ship combat. The sword has an impressive brass hand guard, and very heavy blade. This sword is far and away much nicer than I expected. If you are 'if'y' about this sword, don't be, certainly a bargain, and well worth the money.

I just opened my birthday present...it was the 1860 Navy Cutlass ($49.99). This is a wonderful sword, good weight, sharp point and dull (as most melee weapons). The blade has a good amount of oil that I had to wipe off, no trouble. I am very pleased, nice quality and worth every penny. One of the curious things I have trouble with is that most young sword collectors seem to think that swords need to be sharp. Katanas are for slicing, most medieval swords are for smashing with a point to poke through chain mail. Swords weren't meant for blade to blade contact (rapiers and foils are, and they aren't sharp just pointed).

the price is right for this well-made replica. Pleasure doing business with BUDK!

I used these swords for my military wedding. They look quite nice and the groomsmen definitely enjoyed them as a gift. I highly recommend this product.

Awesome piece to add to your military collection. I bought this because it is the same one that I used as a division leader in my Navy basic training last year. The one thing that I don't like is that I didn't get black leather belt loop with the sheath.
