I was just messing around with some photos and took a shot of a group of my basket-hilts. It's a bit distorted, as I didn't take the ladder out to get enough height for the photo. It gives a pretty good view, though.

Here they are:

Top to bottom:

Phoenix Metal Creations Schiavona
Del Tin DT5173 Schiavona
TEMPL Schiavona (Patrick Bárta)
E.B. Erickson Germanic Basket-hilt
Vince Evans "Lowland" Basket-hilt

I would have liked to include the DT2170 schiavona, Phoenix Metal Creations Sinclair hilt, and a few others in the photo but I would have had to drag that ladder out for more height.

Cheers.

Cool! Thanks Nathan.

There are no "pretty good" views of that collection! Yoiks! :eek:

All those glorious baskets....wow...especially the Schiavona's. :cool: (need a Mortuary or two in there..nudge,nudge, wink,wink....)

Can never get enough of eye candy like that....thanks for sharing Nathan..... :D

Drool....

That's a really fine collection of baskethilts.

Sweet!!! There's just one problem.... they aren't mine :D :cry: . I really think the schiavona is one of the most awesome looking swords.

Huzzah,

Beauty! Love all of them!
