Cold Steel – CS88CS – 1917 Cutlass – Fixed Blade Knife – 1055 HC Blued Sword – Wood – Brown Black

Description

A faithful homage to one of the most iconic naval weapons in American history, the Cold Steel CS88CS 1917 Cutlass is a meticulously recreated replica of the U.S. Navy’s historic Model 1917 Cutlass. Originally adopted as a replacement for the long-serving Model 1860 cutlass, the 1917 variant represents the culmination of decades of refinement in naval sword design. Cold Steel’s rendition is based on an original piece from the private collection of company founder Lynn C. Thompson, making this modern reproduction as historically accurate and functional as possible. This cutlass features a dramatically curved 25-inch blade crafted from rugged 1055 high carbon steel, renowned for its resilience and excellent edge-holding capability. The blade, along with the heavy-duty half-basket guard, is blued to enhance its resistance to corrosion and add a traditional military finish. The guard is formed from stamped 18-gauge carbon steel, offering robust hand protection in combat or display conditions. Its handle is constructed from shaped hardwood, stained and painted in rich brown tones, and affixed to the full tang with three solid brass cutler’s rivets for both authenticity and durability. The grip feels substantial and well-balanced, staying true to its naval roots. Equally impressive is the scabbard, which replicates original military specifications. Crafted from premium leather and accented with hand-fitted brass and copper fixtures, it allows the sword to be carried comfortably on a belt, true to its wartime purpose. This cutlass is not only a collector’s dream but a functional, battle-ready blade that celebrates American military heritage with precision and style.
