Zombie Gear of the Week
All Steel Boarding Cutlass
According to Badger Blades webpage the cutlass style blade has been around since the swash-buckling pirate days. The design was put together due to the need to fight in compact spaces such as aboard ships or other small areas. Directly from their page:
"Due to it's curved blade and point forward balance the Cutlass can unleash devastating slashing and cutting attacks against any opponent without having to carry a massively large weapon.
For action below decks whilst taking over an enemy ship the Boarding Cutlass is the tool for the job. With the same blade type and profile as a regular Cutlass, but with a shorter blade, it makes for the ultimate close quarters weapon in tight spaces where there just isn't enough room to swing a full size Cutlass.
Need something a bit lighter, thinner and more elegant? The Sabre is for you. Same swept blade for superior cutting performance, but with a thinner blade for faster cuts and parries."
With all of this in mind I couldn't help but think how useful this would be during fights in close quarters. Blades are fantastically useful for more reasons than just combat as well. Put your brain to work and i'm sure there would be a quick list of uses made.
Personally, I believe The All-Steel is the best blades for the zombie slaying job!! The All-Steel line have steel guards and pommels and a dark finish perfectly designed for this purpose. Please note some variation from the photo will occur, especially in curvature, as all the blades are hand made. With a blade Length of 19" and a weight: 2 - 2 1/2 lbs!
