Often paired together
Cold Steel Scottish Basket Hilt Broadsword Initial thoughts: Kind of heavy even for it’s size. Blade does not come very sharp and only cuts through soft materials such as cardboard and milk jugs. Excellent point for thrusting.
After handling it for a while and giving it a proper edge, however, I am very happy with this product. Once you get the edge properly honed it will keep the edge for a long time, assuming you don;t use it too much. After a few weeks of handling it you get used to the weight and it feels light as air.
My only issues with this sword are that the threads come out very easily, and because of the threaded pommel you have to screw it in a lot. Sometimes you get lucky and it stays there for a good while, but eventually you WILL have to fix it.
All in all, a very good product for the price. Cold Steel quality actually is on the lower end, at least for their swords, but for 240 dollars it’s a very good buy.
I bought two of cold steels broadswords and they’re heavy, the handles on both are fine. The reason I didn’t give it a better rating is because the scabbards don’t hold up. Prepare to fix the tip of the scabbard, or the throat of the scabbard. On one scabbard the throat came off, and an the other the tip came off. Both happened at two different reenactments. Neither saw any heavy use.
