Short Swords and Cutlasses
Historical Clothing Realm offers several different short swords and cutlasses in a variety of different styles.
The Short Sword also called an arming sword refers to the single handed cruciform swords of the middle Ages. It was hung from the belt of the knight, while the long sword hung from the saddle. The Short sword was designed primarily as cutting weapons to shear through mail and/or armor; these weapons were big but by no means unwieldy.
The Cutlass was a short slashing sword, ideal for the close- quarters battles aboard great sailing men-of-war. Generally regarded as a pirate weapon, the cutlass was, in fact, issued to the naval personnel of many countries. Excellent for use in maritime re-creations.
