Animation of the Cutlass.

The Cutlass is a rare Hardmode sword that deals good damage and can be swung continuously at very high speed. The Cutlass has a 1/200 (0.5%) chance of being dropped by regular Pirate Invasion enemies (excluding the Parrot), a 1/50 (2%) chance from Pirate Captains, and a 1/10 (10%) chance from the Flying Dutchman(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• Assuming the player never kills a Pirate Captain or Flying Dutchman, the odds of getting at least one Cutlass over the course of a Pirate Invasion are about 45%.

Trivia

• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) It has a dark outline and transparent pixels in its blade, so it looks deformed against dark backgrounds.
• It resembles a scimitar rather than a cutlass.
  • Terraria does have a scimitar in the game dropped by the Dye Trader, the Exotic Scimitar, which resembles the Cutlass.
• It can almost be considered a Hardmode upgrade of the Falcon Blade, sharing many of the same features, pros and cons, as well as similar designs.
