I have for sale a falchion sword with a blade from Baltimore Sword and Knife Company mounted with a sinclair style basket hilt from Scott Wilson at Darkwood Armory. Links to their websites are

I had a few hilts left from Scott after I closed my sword shop. I decided rather than let them set around I would mount them up. I found the great blades from BKS were the perfect match. And this blade has BKS’ added touch of class with file work on the back of the blade near the cross. The blade is sharpened. However I left the back edge unsharpened.
The price of the sword includes any paypal fees and USPS shipping in the US.
I also have several pieces of ray skin that would look good on the handles. I plan to do more of that in the future too. The handle has a wood core covered with the ray skin. At first blush the weight of this sword may seem a bit much, but the balance is such that it fills more like a two pound sword. The point of balance is also near the cross so the sword feels almost weightless in the hand. Now on to the sword;
