Description

These photos depict a late migration period “Behmer’s Type 9” hilt with a 4 3/8 inch long hardwood grip and an overall hilt length of 6 1/4 inches. These hilts can be mounted on several blade types and the grip length changed depending on intended use. The example above has a flexible wide flat tang blade with a length of 34 inches and a straight tip to take a rubber blunt. These can be made in a variety of stiffnesses for use in either standard SCA rapier fencing or cut and thrust. The example below is mounted on a 29 inch stiff long seax blade with a 20mm diameter rounded tip as required for HEMA and SCA armored rebated steel blade combat. When ordering please specify the blade type, flexible or stiff, and any stiffness and tip requirements. Since the blades are all custom made we can provide whatever is required.
