Pirate's weapons are typically swords, and the most common ones are the CUTLASS, SABER, DAGGER, and RAPIER. The CUTLASS is a short, curved sword with a single-edged blade, usually about two feet long. The SABER is a curved sword with a single-edged blade, usually about three feet long. The DAGGER is a short, double-edged blade, usually about one foot long. The RAPIER is a slender, straight sword with a double-edged blade, usually about four feet long. All of these weapons were used by pirates to defend themselves and their ships.
