Description
This beautiful cutó is of English design, which was very common in the Navy. The “cutó” (a distortion of the French couteau) or small dagger, imposed by English and French fashion, must have been much more comfortable for any officer aboard a ship than carrying a saber or a side sword. There are countless models, which are really daggers or small sabers used during the period.
