The Basket Hilt Backsword has been designed specifically for the re-enactor, just as our Practical Mortuary Hilt sword has. The basket replicates the edged version, but this blade has been let unsharpened. For enhanced safety, it is also given a rounded tip and 1/16” safe edges to comply with combat rules, which are enforced by many reenactment societies.

Crafted from 1065 high-carbon steel, the blade has been hardened to 50HRC to improve resilience, reduce edge-notching and protect against brittleness. A gorgeous scarlet red color complements the black handle. To allow for a more personalized practical weapon, the scabbard is given a matte black finish to design as you please. Note that you must be at least 18 years of age or older to purchase this item.
