Any direction appreciated! Thanks.

If I recall correctly, they were a slashing and piercing version of the shortswod that had a +2 bonus to disarming, at the cost of a reduction in hardness.

10-25-06, 11:29 PM It's better than a scimitar, because a cutlass is finessable and a scimitar isn't. And yeah, it's in Stormwrack, so even if your DM doesn't allow Dragon you're good.

A cutlass is basically a heavier, more expensive short sword that slashes rather than pierces. Which makes sense if you've ever seen/used one.
