Our Practical Basket-Hilt Broadsword is tailored to the needs of the re-enactor and very affordable. Featuring authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades, these swords are made to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of todays re-enactment societies. It features a classic hilt, blackened (as with the originals) for corrosion protection. The blade is fullered for balance and features 1/16 inch edges and a rounded tip. The steel-mounted wooden scabbard is leather covered and a frog button is provided.
