Basics[]

- Only use this if you have 8 perkslots and you are using the Blood God strat on Impossible Mode. Otherwise, go with the Katana.
Trivia[]
- Cutlass is a 17th-century descendant of the edged short sword exemplified by the medieval falchion.
- It was a common naval weapon during the early Age of Sail.
- Woodsmen and soldiers in the 17th and 18th centuries used a similar short and broad backsword called a hanger, or in German a messer, meaning "knife". Often occurring with the full tang (i.e. slab tang) more typical of daggers than swords in Europe, these blades may ultimately derive through the falchion (facon, falcon) from the seax.
- The word "cutlass" developed from a 17th-century English variation of coutelas, a 16th-century French word for a machete-like blade (the modern French for "knife", in general, is "couteau"; the word was often spelled "cuttoe" in 17th- and 18th-century English). The French word is itself a corruption of the Italian coltellaccio or cortelazo, meaning "large knife", a short, broad-bladed sabre popular in Italy during the 16th century. The word comes from coltello, "knife", derived ultimately from Latin cultellus meaning "small knife".
- In the English-speaking Caribbean, the word "cutlass" is used as a word for machete.
