Description
The “cutó” (a derivation of the French word “couteau”) or small dagger, influenced by English and French fashions, was much more convenient for any officer on board a ship than carrying a sabre or a sword. There are countless models, which are essentially daggers or small sabres used during that era. This beautiful cutó has a French design, which was quite common in the Spanish Navy.
