No cutlass? Aw c’mon, we gotta dress you up a bit. Not to be presumptious but as an older guy you could use a walking stick? Nobody cares. My stick is the same size as a Garand. And it has stuff built in. And it works like a pugil stick. The right sized stick used to be a post hole digger handle. And rubber tips to cover the ‘built-ins” can be had. Shouldn’t get into details here, I guess?
I do have a ‘Moses’ staff I used when I was a cripple. .45 is still better. I got a cutlass. Just not a full length one. I have a Mameluke too, but only the point is sharp.
