Product Overview
The Scottish Basket Hilt Broadsword stands as one of the most recognizable and formidable swords in European history—designed to protect the hand while delivering decisive, battlefield-proven cuts.
This broadsword features a long, double-edged blade, hand forged from 1080 high carbon steel and beautifully polished to a refined finish. The blade incorporates triple fullers, reducing weight while maintaining strength and balance—an essential characteristic of historically accurate Scottish broadswords.
Its defining feature is the stout basket hilt, expertly constructed from blued steel to provide exceptional hand protection during combat. The wooden grip, wrapped in genuine ray skin and finished with decorative wire binding, offers a secure and traditional hold true to period construction.
Each sword passes the stringent British Proof Test, ensuring the blade meets strict standards for structural integrity and functional performance. The broadsword is completed with a wood-core scabbard wrapped in leather, fitted with blued steel throat and chape, creating a cohesive and historically faithful presentation.
This is a sword built for those who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and proven durability—whether for collection, reenactment, or historical martial practice.
