[edit] Definition

The cutlass is the primary melee weapon that the player uses throughout the game. In the beginning of the game the player can obtain the rusty cutlass from the blacksmith, Will Turner and also get basic training from him. Better swords must be purchased at a blacksmith or obtained through additional Fortune Quests.
