Product Description

Early highland swords almost invariably carried the double-edged “broadsword” blade, but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged “backsword” was at least equal in popularity. The Basket-Hilt Backsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England that dates from about 1760, has an unusual basket with twin engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. The blade is German in origin, but the hilt and blade are contemporary. The sword has a polished finish. The hilt is crafted from stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, that of the SH2003 being polished. The blade is a high-carbon blade. The grips of the backswords are covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liners are crafted in fabric-covered leather. The scabbards are leather-covered, black in the case of the SH2003.

CAS Hanwei Scottish Basket Hilt Backsword Review

An excellent product well made and very similar to those found in the Armory Collections of the British Museums. For those of you wishing to give a little flair to your ren-fair gear this fits with a few extra holes punched in your Baldric or belt frog as its scabbard and blade are a bit wider than average but if your a big guy or a strapping young lass this is the blade for you and when wielded properly would easily outmatch a Rapier or fencing blade in combat. Supposedly these are made for true metal on metal combat but they look good too so I'll be saving that for the zombie pirate apocalypse.
