Captain's cutlass

This infamous weapon was used by a vile pirate captain to slaughter countless innocents. Finally, he met his destiny when a kraken swallowed his ship with all the crew aboard. The cutlass was thought to be forever lost, but now you have proof to the contrary in your hands.

Desirability

As good as any quick blade if not better, this is a very useful weapon if you can get your hands on it. Like all short blades it may need some slaying help against high-AC targets in the end-game, even with its higher base damage. A very respectable weapon nonetheless, though, unlike a quick blade, it will chop off hydra heads.

History

Prior to 0.10 this weapon carried a slaying bonus as a property; in later versions this was incorporated into its base damage.
