Details: Several years ago, we worked with WKC and several Master Chiefs to design this Cutlass to replicate the Navy Model 1860/1861 Cutlass, but with several modern enhancements. We also have the design background for this piece.

While neither the US Navy nor the US Coast Guard currently have a written specification for the cutlass, the US Navy Ceremonial Guard in Washington, DC (Anacostia Annex) uses our cutlass.

This is not a "replica cutlass" that looks OK as long as you are standing 10 feet away, nor is it a "Pirate's Cutlass" with which it is impossible to do manual of arms. Our USCG Cutlass is a ceremonial service piece and is crafted to the same level of workmanship as any of WKC's US military pieces.
