Epic Armoury's Original Cutlass Handle is a basket-hilt weapon sold separately for your do-it-yourself project. The basket-shaped crossguard curves around the hand, protecting an 8 cm grip cast and is painted to look like natural wood with metal rivets. Whether you are a heroic swashbuckler or a cunning pirate, this Cutlass Handle is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail. Pair it with your foam and latex blade while benefitting from Epic Armoury's reputation for detail. The handle is made from a polyurethane foam cast and requires no maintenance. Directions for Use: Create or purchase one of our fibreglass core foam blades, ensuring the core length matches the handle. Slide the handle onto the exposed core of your blade and glue it in place. Allow it to dry completely before use, which may take 1-2 days.
