[QUOTE=STRAIGHTRAZOR13;567824]Thank you Wintchase, for the kind words about my swords. You are not wrong in saying, that they made a claymore with a basket hilt. They did. It is all based on the circa, or time line.
Thanks, that clears up years of going back and forth on the claymore..I didn't think of something as simple as "time" as the factor of design. That is why I like this site! I am always learning something new.:beer2:
