Hello ladies and gentlemen. I would like to introduce my new custom baskethilt, early scottish beak nosed ribbon hilt by Alojz Krišto. The type and it's design is discussed in this thread: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...highlight= and I posted progress pictures in this thread: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=215506#215506
Now the hilt is finished and mounted on a Windlass Sword of Granson blade, so here it is:

I like it! I think the basket came out very nice. Love the shape, size and detail of the basket. The weld of the basket to the cross came out good too. Nice beak! :D

Oooh that's a nice, chubby blade on that!

Thanks! The blade is quite broad but it looks even broader because the basket is quite small, made specifically for my small hands. ;)
