Taking disregard for the old saying "Don't run with scissors" to a whole new level, the Cutlass Between the Teeth is the tendency for particularly badass characters to run around with the handle (or blade, if they're feeling really tough) of a sword or knife clenched between their teeth. Can have its uses—at most earning a free hand—but its true purpose is to make the character doing it look even cooler. One would think you'd only attempt this on something whose blade has an edge on just one side… A frequent tactic of fictional Pirates, who often need their hands free for swimming, climbing the rigging or swinging a rope for a Boarding Party. Obviously not Truth in Television (anymore, anyway). As you can imagine, biting down on a hard and thin piece of metal is not very comfortable on your teeth. Not to mention you'd have to worry about dropping the damn thing while running and jumping around in combat — a hard object (tooth) holding a hard object (blade) gives a poor grip. Oh, and slicing the edges of your mouth comes to mind too, if the blade is double-edged. It's marginally better (although just as useless) to hold the hilt this way, provided it's not too big (forget about it if it's a cutlass). Compare Now That's Using Your Teeth! and Handy Mouth. Not to be confused with Metal Muncher, which refers to creatures that feed on metal. |

Sengoku Basara 3 character Mitsunari actually shows the more practical side of this. He holds his sheathed sword in his mouth while traveling by zipline, and the sheath alone when using his Basara Attack, presumably to keep his arms free. He also does this while using his third Super Skill "Reverence", in which he abandons the use of his sword altogether. | |

In a Samurai Jack episode featuring a group of kids collectively making up their own story about how Jack would beat Aku, this is attributed to him as he climbs Aku's tower. The Rule of Cool is all but explicitly invoked. During Season Four there's an episode where he emerges from fighting underwater carrying a rescued woman in his arms and grasping his sword in his teeth. |

Saruhiko Fushimi of K does this in the first season opening with his actual sword while jumping from street light to street light. It is only in the opening though and he never does it in the Anime proper. In the second season, he does this with one of his throwing knives in his JUNGLE profile picture. |

Like a Dragon: One of the random "Majima Everywhere" encounters in Yakuza Kiwami. Has him randomly enter a street fight, making his presence known with a very badass and stylish intro which ends with him throwing his demonfire dagger up in the air and catching it between his teeth, before wielding it. One of the HEAT moves in Kenzan and Ishin, has Miyamoto Musashi/Ryoma Sakomoto putting their tanto between their teeth and waiting for a mook to attack them, counterattacking with a grapple and then finishing the move by pulling out the tanto then stabbing the mook. |

Just about every other promotional image for Naruto features the title character posing with a kunai in his mouth. Laughed at in this fanart. A more extreme example takes place in the series' Land of Waves arc climax. Deprived of the use of his arms, a really pissed off Zabuza is able to plow through a bridge full of armed criminals to get at the Big Bad who tried to double cross him while armed with just a single kunai held in his mouth, whipping it around with his tongue whenever he needed to change direction. In the manga he even cut his target's head off. Similarly, the mouth is just one of the improbably places Killer Bee holds his 7 swords. Note that none of the seven are actually in his hands. Deidara does this as well. Though like Zabuza, he was forced to since his arms were torn off. |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Wrath gets his arms blasted off and his sword broken into pieces, but still manages to catch the weapon's blade between his teeth and stab his enemy in the stomach with it before collapsing. Ling also does this while picking up an injured Lan Fan, and later on while helping the Elric brothers capture Gluttony. |

James Bond A modern variation in You Only Live Twice during the assault on Blofeld's base. Some ninjas can be seen holding grenades in their teeth—not for Pin-Pulling Teeth but just to keep their hands free for climbing and Fast-Roping. In the climax of Octopussy, Gobinda has to go outside Kamal's private jet in mid-air to attack Bond, who is sabotaging the airplane. He briefly holds his curved dagger in his teeth to leave both hands free while he's climbing out the hatch onto the wing. |

Guts from Berserk is not only big on using his teeth to stop enemy attacks, but he also uses them so that he may use his own weapons when his own two hands are incapable of doing so. Also just a reminder, the handle of the weapon he's biting his teeth down on just to swing around? It's the DRAGONSLAYER. | |

During the climactic battle against the Kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Will Turner does this with a knife so he can climb up rigging. He takes the time to make sure the sharp edge is pointed away from his mouth while he does it, too. Koleniko (the puffer fish guy) is holding a full-sized cutlass in his mouth when the Flying Dutchman's crew teleport over to the Black Pearl. |

The pirate-themed anime One Piece takes this to extremes. Roronoa Zoro, a bounty hunter who eventually becomes Luffy's swordsman, utilizes the powerful techniques of Santôryû, a fictional fighting style that involves wielding three swords, one in each hand and one in the mouth. Somehow, he can even talk while doing this: the creator said that it is his heart that allows him to speak. Although in the Funimation dub, his voice is muffled (albeit still quite coherent) when using it. However in the original Japanese voiceover he amusingly rolls his R's like a yankee while his sword is still clenched in his teeth. Now that's talent. |

The Bible: Jesus in The book of Revelation is described as having a sword coming out of his mouth. It's likely the most mundane part of John's description.

Kamen Rider Kiva features a particularly extreme example, with the eponymous hero's werewolf-themed Fragile Speedster form uses a fire-elemental Cutlass Between the Teeth slash as its Finishing Move.

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam combines this with Barehanded Blade Block and Humongous Mecha. The final duel between Kincaid and Zabine starts with their beam zanbers and, as they damage each others' weapons ends up with their heat daggers. In the final clash, Kincaid catches Zabine's knife in the X-1's "mouth"note Actually a heat vent in its faceplate, while his own knife goes right into the X-2's cockpit. Bonus points, of course, for being a pirate-themed series. | |

In Tsukihime, Shiki does it during Ciel's route. The writer probably didn't do this to try to be cool; Shiki probably realizes that doing that is completely impractical and just plain dumb.

An earlier edition of GURPS had a separate skill for "Fast-Draw Knife from Teeth". Martial Arts for 4e, meanwhile, uses standard Fast-Draw, but gives an extremely harsh penalty for fast-drawing this way, with a Critical Failure making you cut up your face. | |

Kotarou of Negima! Magister Negi Magi does this with Asuna's BFS in the Magic World tournament. Not that he had much of a choice since he had transformed into his monster wolf form. | |

In Tangled, Maximus takes this to the next level by fighting Flynn with a sword held thusly (in fairness, he doesn't have thumbs anyway) and giving a better account than all of the human guards put together. | |

Discussed in one of the later Amelia Peabody stories. Despite her skepticism, Amelia later expressed regret that she couldn't have a cutlass between her teeth when she boarded a hostile vessel ... but, "Ah, well, one cannot have everything." | |

In Voltron: Legendary Defender, the Black Lion can form a small dual-bladed variant of these to use at close range, so it has a stronger cutting force than its jaws or claws. Season 2 reveals that all the Lions can do this, too. | |

Hellsing Psychotic priest Alexander Anderson does this, though not by choice as he had previously gotten both of his arms blown off by Alucard. Alucard himself does this with one of his guns, using his teeth to rack the slide. Just before putting down the Hound of Baskerville, which has been taken over by Walter, in a Shout-Out to the first anime. |

Full Metal Panic! has the protagonist's Humongous Mecha Arbalest, which has a spare dagger stored on its "mouth", specifically designed to be evocative of a ninja holding a scroll between his teeth. Rather than a sheathe, however, the dagger is held by a pair of clamps which pop open when Sosuke needs it. | |

Pikachu does this in Super Smash Bros. when picking up a beam sword (or anything else, for that matter), since he runs on all fours (walking is done upright). Though he and the others who do this are at least smart enough to hold onto the handle instead of the blade itself. Brawl changes things a bit. The forepaws have use as a grip for held weapons; swinging with the Homerun Bat and firing with the Super Scope, for example. Pikachu is even forced to carry the Cracker Launcher outside of its jaws, it's that damn big. Ditto with Ivysaur and Squirtle in Brawl. Even Wario uses his mouth with the Homerun Bat. |
