That man builds some beautiful stuff. Wow, a real Scottish basket-hilt sword from a real Scottish bladesmith...THAT would be a very cool thing to have.

No price listed. I suppose its a case of "if you have to ask, its too expensive for you".
Basket hilts are very practical. They work well. Better protection then gauntlets and they don't interfere with your grip.

Beautiful stuff! I like the rustic look on some of the basket hilts. Basket hilts and pirate cutlesses are my two favorites although I have yet to buy one of each.

I love basket hilts, but there's something that George Silver said about 'complex' hilts being slow to index and draw when surprised that makes me stick with simple cruciform crosspieces.
