[Bloody Sam Roberts]

So if you don't intend to use it a cutlass would be perfectly legal?

I was wondering about that too. I could always argue that I need my SOG 8" blade for when I encounter the need to cut through 2" rope with ease.

One never knows when one will need to launch an 19th century frigate with haste.

I was going to go with a broadsword, but I figured a cutlass would suit your screen name better...
