    Wanted in CANADA: Basket hilt broadsword, Baldric, Dirk, Targeetc

    Morning guys. Im looking for a Basket hilt broadsword would like to have a baldric with it. One of the Hanwei ones would be fine with me.

    Also looking for a Dirk. One with just the large knife no fork or smaller knife with it. Stag handle would be very cool.

    As well looking for a Sgian-dubh. Would like real stag handle but will consider others.

    Also looking for a Targe.

    Would prefer in Canada as my only payment option are EMT and money order.

    Cheers, McLean

    McLean,

    May I suggest making the dirk, targe and a small knife yourself?

    They will mean more to you this way, and are not difficult really!
    a piece of old buggy or light truck spring, hacksaw and files are the basice for the dirk etc. Just an encouragement :-)
