I just got the Windlass Battlecry cutlass and was eyeing the 1860 Cutlass for my next buy but I need to know if it's battleready since these are for ' just in case SHTF really happens! A Cutlass doesn't need or run out of ammo!
Windlass usually does an alright job compared to most. Its hard to find good sabers etc for a good price these days but it's getting better as more of us get in the game. The whole reason I started making sabers & Kindjal short swords is precisely b/c it was so hard to get an accurate version for the right price. Which as an aside I use a kindjal I made as my backup for home defense. 17 3/4 " long double edged blade. Sort of like an Arkansas toothpick really.
A friend of mine carries a toothpick he made, about 8", small of the back regularly. For years i was nto a big dagger guy but I've come to appreciate them as i get more old and crotchety. I started making knives, and well, many other things, because we grew up pretty modest. It quells the desire to buy every new whiz bang knife that comes out when one knows they can make a better version at home. Good on you for making swords, i have not done a sword yet, but i expect my first will be some type of hybrid cutlass.
I like Hutton, and the naval cutlass drills, though I admit I have not spent too much time this summer with the cutlass. I need to remedy that! Plus its just fun, that original Ames feels great in hand.
Currently looking at Roworth, " defense on foot" which is available as a free download. Its pretty good so far, but admittedly I'm just getting my feet wet with it. Using my 1860 Cavalry saber for training, it makes the cutlass so much more nimble.

What are your favorite dvd's / books on how to train with the saber/cutlass?
