U.S. Navy M 1860 cutlass

The U.S. Navy M1860 Cutlass was originally designed after the French Model 1833 Naval Cutlass, which itself was designed after the earlier French Model 1803. The French M1833 was a typical cut. Simple design, no frills, but beautifully designed and very effective combat weapon, copied by most navies around the world, including the US Navy. The US Navy's M1860 cutter was slightly different in design; the blade was significantly less wide and slightly shorter, making it much lighter than the French M1833.

The French model M1833 Cutlass above looks very similar to the U.S. Navy M1860 Cutlass, with a swept upturned blade (called a falchio), fuller (fuller is the long groove on some sword blades, it's for balance and some don't think so). to remove the blood) and iron closed the distinctive handle of the cup. The French scissor has the traditional "pirate-like" look and authentic sense of flight seen in all the movies and artworks of the time.
