The curved sword of the classic pirate image

In stories and films, pirates almost always carry a short, curved cutlass, known in Dutch as an entersword. A short, curved blade was more practical on board a ship than a long straight sword among ropes and rigging. The weathered streaks on this model reflect the antique character suggested by its name. Choose it if you want your costume to look lived-in and weathered rather than shiny and new.

From a single cutlass to a complete pirate outfit

The gold-coloured hilt pairs well with a pirate jacket featuring gold-coloured buttons or a black-and-gold design. Men can wear the cutlass with a long brown coat, a white shirt and a cravat, finished with a moustache and goatee. Women can pair it with a fitted pirate jacket, a black cravat with a gold trim and a medallion on a chain. A wig with long braids or a red headscarf worn under a hat creates the unmistakable silhouette of a buccaneer.

Order the antique pirate sword and set sail on a pirate adventure at Carnival with a weathered cutlass in hand.
