Basket-hilted swords vary considerably in construction depending on the nation of origin.
This hilt-type was most commonly made in the Germanic states. Notice the thumb-ring and backsword blade with a long ricasso.

I firmly believe there's no one that can take Marquise to the hilt.

I found a small archive recently that details Sword Hilt Designs from the 16th century to the 19th century. So, I felt like sharing and doing a short thread about it 🧵

A lot of her weapon designs keep changing cuz I CANT. DECIDE. ON. A. HILT, but one thing I always try to incorporate is the shell shape in her weapons! Most of Kalile's Guardia design is a tribute to when she used to be a Dewott, colors and all!

Fierce Warrior, serious, daughter & romantic partner. I'm happy with this design and lucky Eric had complete trust in my work. I really like the Queen chess piece/ sword hilt.

"Very well, you have my attention," he declares releasing his double grip on the hilt of his sword so he could open his arms in the universal sign of peace. Behind him the others in his group regarded them with suspicion but not out right hostility yet...

I'am a thing too heavy of hilt and dull of blade. It's no wonder I sank to the bottom here. But ya know, these crystals are beautiful. It fills my dreams with sunken treasure..

I almost made a couple of errors when writing about this sword for my story. Apparently my memory was so shit that I didn't notice the hilt is a fancily laced metallic cross or how the blade itself has a long line running al the way to the tip.

I didn't forget the flower, though

OC-tober Day 29: Rowan, current Lord of Wrath

Isekai'd into the Nine Hells, this highschool girl's short temper led her to be nominated as the Lord of Wrath.

The Scorching Scepter converts anger into firepower, calming the user as a result. The hilt and laser are adjustable.

day 3: Curse!

“A curved dagger with a gold scabbard worked in strange symbols. Fine gold wire wrapped the hilt, which was capped by a ruby as big as Rand’s thumbnail, and the quillons were golden-scaled serpents baring their fangs.”

Commission

Normally I don't care for dark or black-core lightsabers, but combined with that particular hilt, it kind of makes it look like Stormbringer from the Elric novels, which I approve of immensely.

REDID TALIBONG'S SWORD CREST YEEHAW

And here’s the process video for anyone who’s interested. Also this sword has an eye on the hilt for some reason. Do I know that reason? Nope.

Fun Fact: Asajj Ventress possessed one of the most versatile set of lightsabers; allowing her to use them as a double-bladed staff when attached, duel wield when separate, as well as take advantage of their curved design when fighting with a single hilt during one on one duels.
