OverviewThe basket-hilted Scottish 'broadsword' or Claymore has long been a symbol for Scottish independence and the fierce regard in which Scots warriors are still held. While the rest of Europe emphasised the use of smaller, lighter swords or curved cavalry models, the Scottish weapon retained its medieval flavor. Veteren swordsmen and accomplished authors Paul Wagner and Mark Rector present five key treatises that offer a wealth of advice for fighting with both the basket-hilted broadsword and the single stick - an ash or rattan stick mounted in a wicker or leather basket-hilt, used both for training and as a weapon in its own right.
