Damage: 51(Cutlass) > 47(Excalibur)

Use Time: 16(Cutlass) > 24(Excalibur) Note: Lower is better/faster

Knockback: 4(Cutlass) < 4.5(Excalibur)

The only advantages the Excalibur has over the Cutlass is in kb(which isn't that important), and possibly reach(around 1 block). In terms of DPS, Cutlass wins hands down, while being available earlier.
