Officer’s Five Ball Dirk

buildcool

  • In the age of sail, officers were expected to fight right alongside common deckhands.
  • An officer never made his choice of weapon recklessly when he knew he to had to fight hand to hand to repel boarders.
  • The clear choice was a Spadroon as his primary edged weapon. It was lighter than a cutlass, offered a long, stiff blade, was imminently suitable for thrusting, and had a sharp edge capable of delivering a stinging cut.
  • Original antique Spadroons are quite scarce, and far too valuable to use as actual weapons, but luckily you can get a Cold Steel reproduction.
  • Loosely modeled on historical examples, Cold Steel’s Spadroon has been hardened to a spring temper, with a combat sharp edge and capable delivering a fearsome cut as well as a lethal thrust.
  • It’s handsome too, with a multi ridged faux ivory grip and a gorgeous brass hilt replete with the requisite five ball counter guard and knuckle bow.
  • Not to be outshined, the scabbard is equally impressive.
  • It’s fashioned from rich black leather, and hand stitched, and comes with a mirror polished, solid brass chape, throat, and carrying rings.
