Captain Hooks Pirate Cutlass Sword

Bought this sword a few years back for a pirate outfit. The rest of my outfit ended up looking like a cheap Halloween costume, but the sword was nice. It's got a nice heft to it, and the blade fits into the pommel nice & tight. The metal parts are that cheap cast pot metal, but what do you expect for $30? The scabbard is wooden with a thin pleather covering. The first time I wore mine to the ren-faire, the scabbard got scuffed up pretty good. I ended up wrapping the scuffed parts in a dark brown leather, and the end result was an even better-looking scabbard. The metal will probably hold an edge, but sharpening it would mess up the dark "damascus" patina on the blade. Then again, a well-done shiny edge would stand out and might be an improvement - just make sure you know what you're doing and don't end up with a messy-looking edge.

Handle busted off of mine. The "tang" is just a bolt tack welded onto the blade, unfortunately their welder wasn't very good. I was able to fix it after a quick trip to find a bolt long enough, and slender enough to fit into the handle (And then another trip to get a deep socket) Looks great, perfect asa wallhanger if the handle doesn't beak off.

I absolutely love this sword! The shipping was really quick and the price was great. It's just like the swords from pirates films except so much better when you can actually hold it. I've hardly put it down since it arrived.

great product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, I'm 43 and didn't buy this to swing around and chop stuff up.<br />Bought for the visual aspect.<br />My favorite. Lol.<br />These are awesome. I installed them in a pirate skull sword holder purchased from another company.<br />The set is so cool I hung it above my front door.

This is an amazing show piece if you enjoy pirate stuff. It is not sharp at all which is a downer but I was not expecting it to be sharp. The first couple times in and out of the sheath are hard but after that it fits and comes out perfectly. And Fast shipping was awesome had it in 2 days along with a few other blades and things. I will be buying from this site again I am very happy with the service and the product.

nice sword, beautifully made. my only complaint is the scabbard, the one i got has too much of the plastic covering so it bulges up near the end. aside from that its nicely built and the aged look is a nice touch.

Great sword! Honestly to long to be an authentic pirate sword but still its beautiful. It is really a 4 1/2 but i gave it a 5 because the blade is a little loose. But besides that its great!!!!! <br />XD<br />Oh and it came the exact day that was specified.

OMG. The sword was bigger then life. I love it. Not sharp at all which was great.

alsome sword. only problem is that the black paint comes off easly(not that easy). nice sharp blade, love it!!!!!!!!

This is an absolutely amazing pirate sword. The aged finish gives it a unique look. It is longer then i expected, and it is lightweight. This sword is everything i was looking for and more.......PIRATES RULE!

The scabbard is a piece of junk, but I expected some not-so-great things for a $40 sword. The sword itself is pretty solid. I love the blacked blade and to my surprise the blade is sharp! In my experience with swords less than a $100, you tend to get a dulled or flat edge. I'll probably paint over the BUDK logo and Made in China on the bottom of the blade. Overall, I think the sword is going to work great for my D&D character I'm recreating for cosplay!

Well built, solid. Dont care for the K logo and the "China" written in bright white, but a quick spritz of krylon made that disappear from the base of the blade. handle is comfortable. everything seems like its a decent sword. Blade is not sharpened, tip is however, very pointy. the sheath is solid wood, good locking/retention of the sword once inside, easily slides between your pant and belt and stays in place. the sheath is wrapped in a, i wanna say, fake leather which does tend to slide/wrinkle a bit. a minor irk, but other than that anoverall good sword for costume, display, or fun. Have not attempted any actual combat/striking/blows with the sword; clashed blades once, lightly, with the wifes sword, other than that not really. i dont expect to do any actual pirating with it; however id be willing to try it in a fight if i had to.

THe sword is nice, the design is nice, and it is sharp. It is a very nice cutlas and only problem I had is even though the paint job is supposed to give it a rustic battle hardened look it just looks rather sloppy and poorly done. But as for the actual sword, couldn't ask for a better cutlas.

I like the details, faux leather feels good. Unsure how it will hold up though. Handle has a wire wrap over said faux leather. You won't notice it. As far as the blade, it is wiggly. But since this is a prop, I just shoved a zip tie in the hilt and cut it. Problem fixed. Blade has no scratches, but there is a ding in it from making it. Looks like they over hit it and couldn't fix it. But otherwise looks good. Overall I'll give it 3 stars. no dent would have been 4, if blade wasn't loose a 5. Reminder prop, it looks like it has an edge but it isn't sharp.

It looks good in the sheath, but you can see pretty rough grinding marks on the blade. The blade is quite a bit shorter than the sheath, which is odd, and the blade is not as black and clean as the picture. Otherwise, still a good deal for the price. I mean, you get what you pay for. It is sharp, has good heft, and doesn't look bad.

On the outside it really does look authentic but when i pulled it out it looks like someone took a block of iron and filed it down in the catalog the blade was true it looked like an actual authentic cutlass....the one I got did not I'll just leave this one its sheath from now on.
