Version 0.23: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
An infamous weapon, once used by a vile pirate captain to slaughter countless innocents. He finally met his destiny when a kraken swallowed his ship, and the cutlass was thought to be lost with him. It has the capability to suddenly relieve opponents of their weapons, dealing extra damage in the process.

Desirability

In the hands of a skilled Short Blades specialist, the captain's cutlass[1] is as good as any quick blade, if not better. It can deal excellent amounts of damage quickly, both in open combat and when stabbing. Like all short blades, it benefits greatly from any slaying bonuses you can give it, especially when dealing with high-AC targets in the late game. If you manage to disarm a foe you even get bonus damage. All in all it's a very respectable weapon.
