The Cutlass (Pirate Weapons)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2019
- One of the most famous swords was the Cutlass, used by naval men for centuries but made famous by pirates.
The overall build of the Cutlass made it extremely popular among seafarers in the 17th and 18th centuries.
As a short broadsword, generally around 28 inches in length, the Cutlass was ideal for use on ships, where space was limited.

CAPTAIN LOOK! A NEW VIDEO!
*pirates of the Caribbean start playing*
The cutlasses are pretty accurate in those movies 🏴☠️
Swoggle Me Eyes
@@Simplehistory wow

Dun dun duh DUH dun dun dududu
Since flintlock pistols were brought up, here's a fun fact about one pirate in particular, Edward Teach (Blackbeard) was known to strap on multiple pistols (about 4-6) in order to keep shooting and not have to take the time to reload. Due to his insanity from syphilis, and his obsession with being seen as the devil, these probably made him seem more hellish.
Imagine, your ship gets boarded by pirates, and you see a tall burly man, with a thick beard, his face blocked with smoke that came from his beard and hair; he looks on fire. Just then he pulls back his long coat and brandished two pistols, two of your mates are dead. He drops those and pulls out two more from his chest, shoots, now two more are dead. You're frozen in fear, this man killed four men in the matter of seconds without as much as taking out his cutlass, but thats not the end. He pulls out his last two from his sides and shoots two more men, now he sees you, staring at him, his eyes red from smoke, that you can see. He pulls out his cutlass. Now I can think of one of three things you may do: one, desecrate your trousers. Two, run away, possibly jumping overboard where you may be better off. Or lastly, you can muster your courage to fight the devil, in which he may just stab you right through while he screams in your face, cackling as you spit blood from your mouth and is left bleed on deck.
or you just pull your gun and end the life you Blackbeard like Indiana JOnes( Indiana Jones - Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) - Sword Fight )

Bonus:
Cutlass es were used for cutting and also thrusting
The word 'cutlass' evolved from the 17th-century English variation of 'coutelas', a 16th-century French word for a machete-like blade
There are a lot of myths with pirate history because of movies and games. The French cutlass with the cup hilt you see at the end is often the one seen in Pirate movies set in the 17th and 18th centuries, however it is a much later cutlass from the 19th century. They were actually much simpler in design at the time.
A dagger and blunderbus
Rapier, love to jab and stab
An M1 of course.
Rapier or Blunderbuss
Cutlass
*That is the most beautiful blade i've ever seen*

Why am I hearing Pirates of The Caribbean theme music??
Wait was that not playing in the back ground?
Ive played to much black flag, my fair lady an ol billy rilly started going inmy head
Because you read the first comment.
Ac 4 was awesome the shanties were the best
Because Disney romatincized pirates way too damn much.
2:13 *"without RUNNING the risk of killing them"*
@Alexov Brusilov The video said "ruining the chance of killing them during interrogations " However I believe they meant running the risk of killing them during interrogations. You don't want to kill the prisoner you are interrogating because as the saying goes, dead men tell no tales. Having the blunt side allows them to beat the prisoner without causing to much damage unless you really smack them, its also good to avoid killing them as corpse draw in much less ransom money and slave traders won't want them either.

@Karlionne Theodore Acacio Hernaez this line is not included in the AC4 Black Flag, because Edward Kenway didn't want any drunken sailor to sleep with Jenny Scott.

Toss ‘em overboard
The only cutlass I owned was made by Oldsmobile. It didn't feel all that piratey, but I did drive around in it in search of booty.
I had to take a solid 2-3 minutes to recompose myself and return to my computer after laughing so hard at your comment, thank you
That is quite possibly the best TH-cam comment I have ever seen.
So it would seem.
i get it wow
That was funny
You win the internet!

Pirates of the Carribean made me happy due to the sword they used
Best flintlock loading animation! Bravo !
Thank you 🙏🏻 it took a while for us to accurately figure out. Although we didnt show measuring powder :)
Now: pirate weapons
In a few years: weapons used in the area 51 raid massacre
M4A1's
Laser beams and death rays once we get inside their armoury.
M4s vs Shurikens
This is all well and good
but why's the Rum gone?
Not Pocketsoviet Ask the scallywags, under the deck.
It's one of the funniest moments in cinematic history.
Oh. That’s why.
Love these weapon videos, would love to see more on like the the scimitar, Katana, Arakh and Kophesh blades
Whoever hold that cutlass
*_You are the Pirate_*
Can you talk about what type of ships pirates used
It's actually wouldn't be that exciting. They preferred small and fast, so sloops and cutters.
MAN-O-WAAAAR!!!!!
Whatever could sail they used

This channel is more informative both visually and verbally, I like the simplicity of the video. Unlike the other channels that are trying too hard.
This is the best channel , I've learned so much. My history knowledge has expanded , thank u Simple History :)
Sail ho! coming in into the cove! At last, a pirate related video i've long been waiting for. Thanks Simple History.
My crew and I shall steal every chest of gold in the Caribbean! 🏴☠️
this channel needs way more subs and likes it's simple animation non clickbait and well narrated the infographics show is like it but I feel it has less quality and they clickbait every now and then your channel is amazing keep up the good work and take it easy!
Thank you so much simple history I love your videos and look forward to the new ones
You put about as much effort into these videos as I did a book report in 5th grade.
That animation is *BEAUTIFUL!*
The cutlass is still used today(August 2023) in a more ceremonious role with the United States Navy. The cutlass is used as a leadership identifier in recruit training. The Recruit chief petty officer in day-to-day roles at RTC Great Lakes. The cutlass is the RCPO's pride and joy and is used when marching to signal the RCPO's leadership role.
“This blade’s got bite”
-The Saltwater Scourge, Gangplank
The Cutlass was also used on land by the British Police during the 1800's, with early uniform police officers being issued both a Truncheon (That's an early Nightstick to Americans) and a Cutlass, with which they were required to perform daily drills to gain and keep up their proficiency with both these weapons
They didn’t carry their cutlasses daily, though. They were issued to SWAT teams (or the 19th century equivalent) for stopping riots
Seen how they made that blade in Forged in fire and test it against knight's sword in Deadliest Warrior. It made me love it.
Will check that out
@@Simplehistory :D
I love this channel great videos. Keep up the good work and great commentary as always
Notif squad! Amazing content as always, my favorite history channel. You actually inspired me to make my own history related channel as well. Thank you for this and keep up the good work :)
Next video: Flintlock (Pirate Weapons)
That would be excellent
They'll make a video about Blackbeard soom
Yes new episodes! And a new pirate episode!
🏴☠️
Simple History Thanks for the reply!
I clicked so fast when it came out.
The cutlass must of been good to name a car model after.
Nice could you do a whole series on pirates and pirate weapons
Sure they stuck cutlasses in their mouths. BUT, did they also have cutlasses in each hand?! THAT’S a real pirate. Sure, they lost their sense of direction, but still...
Ah a Black Lagoon reference.
Pirate roronoa zoro?
@@tsarnature6587 Nope, Revy because her custom Berettas are named Cutlass sword and she likes to dual wield them, go home Stalin you´re drunk.
Hi jellal
Just Some Guy with a Mustache oh wait u fake af
Can you do a video on Oskar Schindler it would be an amazing story
True
This sword is commonly referred to as a "cutlass" but a short sabre like weapon used during the 17th-18th century were really called "hanger" the cutlass wouldn't appear until the early 19th century. But this is just nomenclature.
Your animation is really picking up! This is great!
How do you make a pirate mad?
Take away the ‘p’
3:25
What is the music playing there? Can't find it in the description.
Drunken Sailer. I'm pretty sure it is the Assassin's Creed 4 version.
Simple history, you should do a video on the pontifical swiss guard. Along with their uniforms and weapons
Great video man, one of my favorite swords
1:20: they seemed to have invisible flies back then
a longer cutlass? i think we already have a name for that, it's called an infantry saber lmao
Dope video smiple history!
Amazing work,keep it up
I miss jack the sparrow :((
Booty pirate weapons: lube
HAHA WOW SO ORIGINAL
Nice work Chris
Excelente video. I love your animations
I'd brang a stick
This was a easy decision because I don't want my actual sword to break in combat so I'll use a stick as my defense weapon
In SCA where they teach unarmored sword combat, your secondaries include Buckler's, daggers, coats, lanterns, sticks and pewter mugs. Getting your sword hand smacked by a full tankard is an embarrassing experience.
Probably the pirates Enchanted the Cutlass with Sharpness IV.
Really love your vids helps me in social studies
Grat Video! Could you guys please make a video about the Operation Valkyre
Do vid about japanese invasion in philippines.
that's gotta be the best upload I've ever seen
*S O I T W O U L D S E E M*
T truly loved the music. Can't help but to think of a fascinating game known as Dwarf fortress.
Hey, please make video about Silesian uprisings in Poland. It's very important in this day.
OMG IM SO EARLY 5 VIEWS THIS IS CRAZY!!
Yar, I be the first comment. Lol good video guys!
"You think is wise boy, crossing blades with a pirate?"
This channel is probably the only infomercial channel I trust.

I like your videos and may I ask if you could do a video on the battle of villers bretonneux

This better become a series
Will you do one about Alcatraz Escape? It would be great to hear about that
1:00 Pirates NEVER swung from ropes for reference, that's a movie myth. Other that, pretty accurate.
@Ted Hubert Pagnanawon Crusio Proof?
Pirate video: pops up
My brain: ”WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILER”
Another brilliant video

Very nice fighting animation guys!
One of my favorite swords.
One firearm was popular for shipboarding was the duckfoot pistol, a multibarrel early repeating firearm.
