Description
It was during this “sparring out” stage that Lynn began to customize and improvise with his most favored swords – the 1904 Austrian Saber and the 1917 Cutlass. The Saber provided almost unparalleled hand protection with minimal bulk but it favored fighting from horseback, whereas the Cutlass was an excellent tool for fighting on foot, lightweight, maneuverable but still more than capable of opposing bigger weapons. By combining the best features of these two swords Lynn began to create the first design evolution of the Hybrid Cutlass – a truly modern fighting sword. Name: 1917 Hybrid Cutlass Blade Length: 25″ Overall Length: 30 3/8″ Steel: 1055 Carbon Weight: 33.1 oz Handle: 5 3/8″ Hardwood Scabbard: Leather Scabbard w/Brass and Copper Fittings
