1stMate Matt Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 We made this double fullered baskethilt yesterday along with a pair of rapiers and some crazy axes. Anyway. This is a one off blade that I ground from a random piece of alloy. I added some Swatton style fullers up the spine that I think set the piece off. It has a full grind on onbe edge and a flase edge on the back of the blade. The blade is slightly curved and polished. I would have liked to have speant a few more hours on this guy but I thought I would share it with you all anyway. I believe the customer plans to line the inside of the basket with some leather. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop

Tartan Jack Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 How much for one similar to the one you showed on this thread? I am interested in Jacobite as well as pirate reenactment. I need one that could be accurate for the 1715, which would mean it is also good got the 1745 and for the GAoP. I also need to get a dirk. I may just buy one readymade, as they seem pretty accurate. Do you make those too? - My thought is that a good dirk could be used for my on-board weapon and the baskethilt for landed. As for accuracy . . . I am more along the lines of Black John's group than the less historical stuff. I want as accurate as possible. I've heard GREAT things about you and your blades. You can respond my PM. I tried to send this to you that way, but your PM box is full. -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina
