88HBH - Horsman's Basket Hilt Broadsword:
Whether you’re fighting from a saddle or on foot, we sure you’ll be hard
pressed to find a better weapon for the job than our Horseman’s Basket
Hilt Broadsword. Loosely modeled on English Broadswords of the 17th
and 18th centuries, it has a long double edge blade that can deliver
powerful shearing cuts well as a deadly thrusting attack. The handle is
made of wood wrapped in Samé, or ray skin, and bound with wire for an
exceptional grip. And, to completely protect one’s hand it comes with a
full basket hilt that’s been enlarged to accept an American sized hand.
There’s a heavy steel pommel that counter balances the blade and serves
as a lethal striking tool in its own right. Plus, because the blade is made
from modern high carbon spring steel, it will pass the British Proof Test. It
comes complete with a heavy leather scabbard that’s reinforced by a
steel throat and chape.
