Hanwei VOC Cutlass-Steel Fittings

During the height of maritime trade and colonial expansion in the 18th century, the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC)—or Dutch East India Company—ruled the seas. Among the most recognizable weapons of its naval forces was the VOC cutlass, carried by sailors aboard their formidable fleets.

This replica faithfully mirrors the original weapons used by VOC mariners. Forged from high carbon steel, the blade is left unsharpened, making it ideal for reenactment, stage combat, or historical interpretation events.

The basket hilt is crafted from stainless steel for durability, while finished in a brass-like tone to match the historical appearance of VOC swords. The cutlass is paired with a leather-covered scabbard, reinforced with stainless steel fittings for secure and authentic carriage.
