Red Dragon gloves are too bulky for this basket hilt. You will need something like a padded leather glove.Quality Price Value
To perform certain moulinets you will need to cut and sand the bottom part off (either the left or the right depending which hand you use to fence - both if you fence both ways.) The plastic is sharp so if not filed/sanded - especially around the pommel which is where the heel of my hand ends up most the time.
The basket fits the 1 handed blade - you could buy the Bastard sword and a few more bits and hey presto you have three swords - it would be nice if they included the pommel but you have to get that separately.
Overall decent product if a bit pricey - mine has taken a beating and is still going strong. (Posted on 25/08/2017)
