The blades' a bit rusty, not well balanced, but it should suffice for a present.

— Will Turner as you receive the Rusty Cutlass as your first weapon
Definition Edit
The cutlass is one of three sword types and the primary melee weapon that the player can use throughout the game, with the other types being the sabre and broadsword . A Cutlass is identifiable by its short, heavy blade. They were preferred by sailing men since they performed well in tight spaces yet could still deliver a powerful cut.
In the beginning of the game the player obtains the rusty cutlass from the blacksmith Will Turner , and also gets basic training from him. Better swords may be purchased at a blacksmith , found in loot drops, or obtained through additional Fortune Quests .
As the pirate's cutlass skills improve, he or she can find or purchase better swords. Later, the pirate will be offered quests to obtain some of the finest weapons in the islands.There are three legendary cutlasses.
NOTE: Originally, the Cutlass was the only type of sword available. After El Patron's Lost Weapons , the others were added. However, some like the Iron Cutlass and Steel Cutlass were removed.
