Cas/Hanwei SH2002 Basket-Hilt Broadsword 39" Overall 32-1/2" Blade is Forged in High Carbon Steel, The Scabbard is Leather Covered by Paul Chen! Although Basket-Hilt swords appeared throughout Britain from the mid-sixteenth century on,  their association with the seventeenth and eighteenth century Scottish highlander has become legendary.  Our Paul Chen Basket-Hilt Broadsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England,  carries a typical Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century.  It is likely that the blade of the original sword,  marked “Andrea Ferara,” was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as basket designs were refined. The hilt is crafted in stainless steel,  to minimize maintenance, while the blade is forged in high-carbon steel. The grip is covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liner,  like the original,  is crafted in fabric-covered suede leather. The scabbard is leather-covered. Made by Hanwei.
