Overview
Castille Armory – Economy Basket Hilt Ale House Dagger
The Castille Armory Economy Basket Hilt Ale House Dagger offers considerably more capability than its “Economy” designation might suggest. Rather than being an entry-level or beginner-focused weapon, it delivers excellent value with materials sourced in the USA and construction completed in Castille Armory’s Oregon workshop. Its durable, flexible blade makes it a practical choice for HEMA martial arts training and SCA sport combat, while its traditional basket-hilt design gives it plenty of appeal for collectaors and historical fencing enthusiasts. The 15″ blade features a simple rounded tip and has an F4 level of flex after tempering. (see below).
Its tough guard is made from 12 Gauge 100 grade “Domex” alloy steel to give excellent levels of protection to the hand. The dagger is constructed with a nut assembly and it can be dismantled down to its basic components for repair or replacement. The 5 inch long grip is very tough and practical PETG with a heavily textured, tactile grip.
Offered in F4 flex only- F4 @ ~30-32 lbs (13-13.5kg). F4 is high stiffness, legal for both HEMA and SCA C&T combat.

The Maker
Castille Armory
In 2013 Sam Kovic decided to jump in head first and take his love for the art of defense to a higher level. Zenergy Metal Works, LLC was founded and Castille Armory was brought to life.
What started off as a garage-based hobby turned into a full-fledged business in 2013 with the rental of a small shop in Central Point, Oregon. Castille quickly outgrew that 2000 sq ft space and moved to a larger shop in Medford, and then we outgrew that building and started renting the one next door, and a few years later the one next door to that! Finally in 2018 we made the jump to a much larger shop in Phoenix, Oregon where we all live happily under one roof.
Since 2013, Castille Armory has entered the international arena and orders have far surpassed the output of a hobby shop. Sam has had to pass on his knowledge and techniques to his crew, a band of talented individuals who share the deep love for all things swords. This personal passion keeps Castille Armory moving forward. Because quality and attention to detail are everything in a niche market, everyone who works at Castille Armory also fences—mostly because we love to—but it’s that hands-on approach that means we designed your sword as if it were our own. If it’s not good enough for us to use in tournament, it’s not good enough for you.
