Scottish sword with basket handle

Although basket-hilt swords had been common throughout england since the mid-16th century, they only became well-known through their association with the legendary scottish highland fighter of the 17th and 18th centuries. hanwei's paul chen basket-hilt broadsword, a replica of an original sword in the british royal armouries collection, features a typical mid-18th-century glasgow-style hilt. the blade of the original sword (marked andrea ferara) was most likely made in germany a century earlier and then fitted with a more contemporary basket-hilt handle.

This replica features an easy-care stainless steel basket and carbon steel blade. The handle is made of genuine stingray skin with wire wrapping and the bowl is lined with fabric-coated suede.
