Should fit any CastilleArmory.com broadsword hilt.
Although putting a orthopaedic grip on a HEMA highland broadsword is fundamentally silly, this thicker, more heavily contoured grip can be nice for someone in heavy padded gloves.
The optional thumb support acts like a thumb ring but without the need to wrap your thumb in there, hence it's much more comfortable if someone yanks it out of your hand!
If you need it left handed, don't forget to mirror the design - V13 even without the thumb support is not symmetric, V11 should be if that is what you are after.
Durability is reasonable, but the thumb wing can add alot of lateral pressure. Layer adhesion is the main factor concerning strength, if it breaks, it will break beneath the wing, rather than on the wing itself. PETG helps!
