    The Scottish Single-hand Sword by Kingston Arms is patterned after 15th century models originating in the west highlands and the western isles. The peened wheel pommel, lobed quillons and short langet are typical of surviving pieces. The hilt grip has a leather wrapped grip with a wood core and matte stainless steel fittings. The sword is matched with a hard core scabbard which is bound in leather and finished with a stainless steel chape and locket. The blade is well tempered and is sharp and overall the sword is a quick and responsive sword.

      This thing is wicked sharp and solid built from what I can tell. Cut through a ton of water bottles today and this thing puts back yard cutting on easy mode!

      There are a couple of details that I am wondering about. The pommel is interesting, having a taper from the grip to the peened, square end of the tang. The original swords are typified by a hollow pommel. Short of dismantling the grip, or damaging the pommel, it isn’t clear how the pommel is constructed. That said the fit and finish of the pommel short signs of slightly inaccurate blow placement when the end of the tang was peened. Face of the pommel is recessed from the outer edge about 5 mm in from the actual side of the pommel. The face itself is slightly domed, and the join between the recessed face and the rim shows small details that could the result of the pommel being cast.

      The quillons look very like originals on at least one original example, and again have small trace marks that indicate they may be cast.

      The grip is supposed to be leather over wood, and may very well be, but there is no stitched seam. The covering appears to be glued on.

      The blade is nicely made, with a clear mid-rib, POB is 14.5 cm and POC is about 51 cm. The fullers are short – 17.cm long and start about 5 mm beyond the ends of languettes.

      It’s light, handy, and fairly serious in a cut.
