Grammont Wooden Pirate Cutlass

Grammont Wooden Pirate Cutlass in Steamed Beechwood

Historical Context and Naval Tradition

This design is based on the iconic naval cutlasses that dominated the decks of warships and pirate vessels during the 17th and 18th centuries—the Golden Age of Piracy. The short, broad curved blade and protective knuckle guard were ideally suited for fierce hand-to-hand combat in the cramped quarters between rigging and cannons.

This wooden replica is crafted in honor of Michel de Grammont, a renowned French buccaneer and privateer commander active in the Caribbean during the late 17th century. Grammont was famous for his daring raids on Spanish holdings. This cutlass serves as a safe training tool for practicing cuts, guards, and footwork, or as a lightweight prop for historical costumes.

Care Instructions and Safety Guidelines

To keep your wooden cutlass in excellent condition and avoid injury during use, please observe the following precautions:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct humidity and heat sources.
• Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth after use. The wood can be occasionally treated with natural wood wax.
• Important Safety Warning: The blade tip is not rounded. There is a risk of puncture or eye injury during practice. Always wear appropriate protective gear (safety goggles and gloves).
• Usage Limitations: Intended for light theatrical practice, choreography, cosplay, and display purposes only. For safety reasons, this is not a full-contact combat weapon. Heavy wood-on-wood or wood-on-steel impacts may cause breakage, which is not covered by warranty.
