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! Big Grin

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. Wink
