Product Overview
The Scottish Basket Hilt Broadsword is a classic basket hilt sword known for its distinctive hand protection and battlefield effectiveness. As one of the most iconic forms of broadsword in European history, it was designed to deliver powerful cuts while protecting the wielder’s hand with its enclosed hilt.
This basket hilt broadsword features a double-edged blade forged from 1080 high carbon steel, polished to a refined finish. The blade includes triple fullers, reducing weight while maintaining strength and balance—key characteristics of historically accurate basket hilted broadswords.
The hilt is constructed from blued steel, forming a strong protective guard, while the grip features a wood core wrapped in genuine ray skin with wire binding, ensuring a secure and traditional hold. This design reflects the craftsmanship found in historical hilt sword construction.
Each sword is British Proof Tested, confirming its structural integrity and durability. The broadsword is completed with a leather-covered wood core scabbard with blued steel fittings, making it suitable for collection, reenactment, or display.
