Brass Basket-hilt Claymore
This Scottish Basket-hilt Claymore is the equal of any raised by clansmen, as they overran the English at the Battle of
Falkirk on Jan. 17th, 1746. The pierced basket-hilt is a faithful reproduction of one found on the Culloden Moor. The fully
tempered high carbon steel blade is of the typical fullered, double-edge, broadsword pattern of the 1740's. The basket also
has a rich red velvet liner and a scabbard is included for this great price. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. #500922...$265
Overall-39 1/2" * Blade-32 1/2" long, 1 3/4" wide, 3/16" thick * Wt.-3 lbs. 14 oz.

Two Hand Claymore
The remains of this massive Scottish war sword are housed in London's renowned British Museum. The furniture is brass,
as with many Highland weapons, to prevent rust in the chronically wet mountain climate. This type of sword would have been
carried to the great battlefields where the Scots struggled against their most bitter enemy, the English. In the hands of
a brawny highland warrior this would have been a devastating weapon. Hardwood grip accentuates a very attractive sword. High
carbon steel fullered blade, ready for an edge. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes scabbard. #500940 $295

Early Scottish Dirk
A direct descendent of the medieval ballock dagger. The grip form began to change, probably sometime in the late 16th
century, but soon developed a form that was purely Scottish. The later versions that are quite popular, are somewhat debased
in form, and not the pure fighting weapon of the early version. And make no mistake about it, this dirk was a pure fighting
knife, and unabashedly so. The blade was long and single-edged. Made to use alone, with a shield and sword, or just with a
basket-hilt claymore. We have replicated an early version of the dirk. The hardwood handle is carved with a chevron like pattern
copied from an original of the same time period. For those with a serious interest in the Highlands, this is a must for any
collection. Includes scabbard. Crica 1700. Overall-21". Blade-14 7/8" long, 1 7/16" wide. Wt.-1 lb. Made by
Windlass Steelcrafts®.
Sharpening service is available on this Dirk for an additional $12.00. To order a sharpened version of this Dirk Click

covered with leather and reinforced with metal throat and tip. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Overall-17 1/2". Blade-11
3/4" long. Wt-1 lb. 2 oz. Circa 1860.

SH2002N -- Scottish Basket-Hilt Broadsword (Antiqued)
Although Basket-Hilt swords appeared throughout Britian from the mid-sixteenth century on, their association with the
seventeenth and eighteenth century Scottish highlander has become legendary. Early highland swords almost invariably carried
the double-edged “broadsword” blade but by the time of the Battle of Culloden (1746) the single-edged
“backsword” was at least equal in popularity. Both the Basket-Hilt backsword and broadsword are replicated
from period pieces in the collection of the Royal Armouries in England. The Basket-Hilt Broadsword (SH2002) carries a typical
Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century. It is likely that the blade of the original sword was made in Germany a century
earlier and re-hilted as basket designs were refined. Both the SH2002 and SH2002N have wire-wrapped ray skin handles and cloth-covered
leather basket liner.

SH2003N -- Basket-Hilt Backsword
It is likely that the blade of the original sword was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as basket designs
were refined. The Basket-Hilt Backsword (SH2003,SH2003N - antiqued) dates from about 1760 and has an unusual basket with twin
engraved “horned beastie” plaques and a blade with twin fullers running most of its length. Again the
original blade is German in origin but the blade and hilt are contemporary. The SH2003 and SH2003N have wire-wrapped ray skin
handles and cloth-covered leather basket liners.
