cutlass for true pirates 3D Модель

a cutlass is a short, broad sabre or slashing sword, with a straight or slightly curved blade sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt often featuring a solid cupped or basket-shaped guard. it was a common naval.

although also used on land, the cutlass is best known as the sailor's of choice. a naval side-arm, its popularity was likely due to the fact that it was not only robust enough to hack through heavy ropes, canvas, and wood, but short enough to use in relatively close quarters, such as during boarding actions, in the rigging, or below decks. another advantage to the cutlass was its simplicity of use. employing it effectively required less training than that required to master a rapier or small sword, and it was more effective as a close-combat than a full-sized sword would be on a cramped ship.
