Scottish style basket hilt broadsword
Made by Rob at Castle Keep.
A cracking swordsmith based on the isle Skye
Beautifully balanced and finished.

Couldn't resist, as i've got another being custom made but the waiting list is around 12 months.

Cool, but I don't like the basket hilt. Is is actually sharp and what do you do with it?

No smiting planned, but you never know

I just like pretty sharp things, a good swordsmith is an artist, but i've never had the free money to indulge till now

Yup it's sharp, it's a proper hand forged sword.

Why not?
Why have more than 1 watch?

Can you slice through 8' of reinforced concrete? It's done on the movies so must be true ;-)

Did anyone save it? Could be potential for some photoshop amusement

Because I like the asthetics of swords.
Why do some people spend thousands on watches?
I expect it to appreciate too as the swordsmith is become more in demand all the time.
