Cold Steel Scottish Basket-Hilt Broadsword

The traditional piece associated with the highland clansman, this sword has a long history in Scottish heritage. Its long, two-edged blade and distinctive basket hilt, when paired with targe and dirk, has proven to be more than a match for enemy soldiers on battlefields around the world. Now Cold Steel® has chosen to make our own replica of this famous piece. Our double-edged blade is hand forged and beautifully polished with triple fullers. The stout basket hilt is made of blued steel with a wood grip covered in samé (ray skin) and decoratively wrapped in wire. Each broadsword will pass the stringent British Proof test and comes with a wood and leather scabbard that's complemented by blued steel chape and throat.
