- Although Basket-Hilt swords appeared throughout Britain from the mid-sixteenth century on, their association with the seventeenth and eighteenth century Scottish highlander has become legendary.
- Hanwei's Basket-Hilt Broadsword, replicated from an original in the collection of the Royal Armories in England, carries a typical Glasgow-style hilt from the mid-18th century.
- It is likely that the blade of the original sword, marked "Andrea Ferara", was made in Germany a century earlier and re-hilted as basket designs were refined.
- This version of the Basket Hilt Broadsword features an antiqued finish.
- The hilt is crafted in stainless steel, to minimize maintenance, and is finished with a museum-quality patina.
- The high-carbon blade is also lightly "antiqued" to promote authenticity.
- The grip is covered with wire-wrapped genuine rayskin and the basket liner, like the original, is crafted in fabric-covered leather.
- The scabbard is leather-covered.
