Cold Steel Fighting With The Saber And Cutlass 2 DVD Set |WORK|

I'm looking for any resources that describe these types of katas with a saber. I know of Cold Steel's dvd on the topic, but it's $60 on amazon and I don't really want to spend that much. (if anyone has the dvds they want to sell, I'm interested in buying)

Sharp as a scalpel and tough as a tank, the Recon series is available with 2 or 4 inch blades in a variety of steel qualities and blade shapes. Every facet of their construction has been over engineered to make them as strong, durable and effective as possible. Both models in this diverse series feature our renowned Tri-Ad lock, providing fixed blade like lock up and complete safety when using your knife in even the most taxing conditions. From the sturdy little workhorse that is our Micro series to the beastly cutting power of our classic Recon series- whatever your mission, the Recon I is there for you.

Lynn has been training with master swordsmen Ron Balicki, Luke LaFontaine and Anthony DeLongis for many years, and ever since the year 2000 they have trained exclusively full-contact with aluminum and steel blades and minimal protection! This incredibly hazardous training has served to not only vastly expand their fighting knowledge but it has kept them honest - taking less unnecessary risks and relying on their skill at arms and the inherent strong suits of their chosen weapons to keep them from harm.

The Saber provided almost unparalleled hand protection with minimal bulk but it favored fighting from horseback, whereas the Cutlass was an excellent tool for fighting on foot, lightweight, maneuverable but still more than capable of opposing bigger weapons.

In 1917, the U.S. Navy decided to replace its Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous service for 57 years, with a new model. Cold Steel's modern recreation of this classic fighting sword is as authentic as possible, it is virtually an exact copy of an original in the personal collection of Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson. Our 1917 Cutlass features the signature 25" curved blade and a half basket guard that's stamped out of heavy 18-guage high carbon steel, and both the blade and guard are blued to resist rusting. The handle is made from carefully shaped hardwood, painted brown and secured to the tang by three heavy brass cutler's rivets.

We sell a wide variety of fine quality cutlasses, broadswords, and rapiers for collecting, re-enactment, theatrical productions, cos-playing, costuming, weddings, ceremonies and more. Our swords range from premium quality stainless steel display and costuming pieces to "battle ready" full contact capable high carbon steel swords. We offer a variety of brand names from Kit Rae, Deepeek, Cold Steel, Cas Hanwei, Shadow Cutlery and more.

French historian Alexandre Exquemelin reports the buccaneer Francois l'Ollonais using a cutlass as early as 1667. Pirates used these weapons for intimidation as much as for combat, often needing no more than to grip their hilts to induce a crew to surrender, or beating captives with the flat of the blade to force their compliance or responsiveness to interrogation.

QUESTION: I'm a marine stationed on Camp Lejeune and I've been searching for a 100% full tang, high carbon, spring steel naval cutlass for the past 5 years. I originaly wanted an NCO sword with the above qualities but gave up my search after no results. Every cutlass I've come across has been just some cheap "made in china" excuse for a blade or doesn't list any specs. The sword will be used for the purpose that a sword is made for which is why I won't settle for anything less.

I've studied the cutlass you addvertise on your site and it had a great review however, I found the same sword on another site and it was reviewed as having a slender tang which conjured images of a wallhanger with a rod tack welded to it. Please, can you help me find a cutlass that will truely stand up to abuse and still look similar to the one on your site.

ANSWER: Hi Richard,

There are actually several good options to consider. Windlass Steelcrafts make some great swords that should suit your purpose, and they are the offical suppliers for several militaries around the world, including the USMC..

Cold Steel also produce a few models (which, as it turns out are made to their specs by Windlass) which are deadly functional out of the box. Their tangs are correct for the type of sword, and may look a bit thin, but I assure you they are adequete.

One other site you may wish to consider is Military Heritage.com.

Hopefully between these three links you'll be able to find something of quality at a good price.

Best Regards,

The scabbard is an accurate reproduction of the original and is made of high quality leather and features brass and copper fixtures. It can be worn comfortably at the side on a pistol belt without chafing its owner. be457b7860
