November is almost here. Month of Thanksgiving, rain, snow storms and compound hilts. :D

The fall close out sale is over, but to bring the compound hilts to market were offering 10% off all Compound Hilts, both in stock and pre-orders:

The next week or two will bring a second line up of basket hilts. They are here and blades are done, we are just waiting to get the hilts back from Bluing to get pictures. This set built more for the Practical WMA is slightly over sized, left or right handed, not totaly a-historical but not reproductions. We will be offering 2 blade types to start. A Blade similar to tho slightly longer than our 15th Century Side Sword. The second will be based on our Cruciform blade. We'll bring out a few others to seclect from as time goes on. Wraps will be spiral black leather. Pricing will be well under our 16th Century hilt at $650.00 blued and wrapped with customer choise of blades. $585.00 with the Nov sale!

The 16th Century Irish Basket Hilt we offered from E.B. Erickson will be back in stock some time soon. I'll open orders for them on the 1st. We will have three more hilts patterned in the same historical hilting as our last. Blued with Leather and wire spiral handles by Christian Fletcher. We will also be receiving the original proto-type hilt. It will be for sale after it's blued and pictured.

Hey Josh,
Will the rapiers have the hilt shown in this link?

Or is there another hilt for them?

Nope....

I honestly have not seen the new ones yet, we were expecting them in Sep now there suposed to show up today....

Any chance you could reveal who's making the hilts? Or is this a secret to be unveiled at a later date?
