Product description
The basket hilted broadsword was mainly employed by the Scots. These are sometimes also referred to as basket hilted claymores, as the blade was often crafted from a broken claymore blade. The grip features a large basket that not only protected the hand but also provided a better balance.
The broadsword is a replica of a basket hilted broadsword from 1828, and is supplied complete with a scabbard. The basket is constructed from brass, whilst the blade features two fullers. The overall length is 104 cm with a blade of 89,5 cm and a maximum width of 3,8 cm. It weighs approx. 1,7 kg.
