Scottish Sword with Basket - Old Version by Hanwei

Hanwei's basket-handled sword is a replica of an original from the collection of the Royal Armories of England, dating back to around 1760. The original sword's blade was likely manufactured in Germany a century earlier, adorned with basket designs. Notably, the sword features a unique basket with twin plates engraved with a "beast with horns" motif, as well as a blade with twin fullers spanning most of its length.

This faithful reproduction of the sword boasts an aged finish, with a stainless steel handle to minimize maintenance and a museum-quality patina. The blade is forged from high carbon steel, aged slightly to enhance authenticity. The handle features genuine striped leather wrapped in wire, while the leather basket lining is covered in fabric. The entire piece is covered in leather, adding to its authenticity.

Manufactured by Hanwei, the sword's blade is made from 1566 steel with a high carbon content and is finished to give it an antique look. With an overall length of 99 cm and a weight of 1162 grams, it also includes a sheath covered in leather for protection and ease of carrying.

In summary, Hanwei's basket-handled sword is a meticulously crafted replica of a historical piece, designed to capture the spirit and authenticity of the original while also ensuring practicality and durability for modern use.
