hilted

Having a handle

Hilted describes a blade weapon that has a hilt—the handle portion of a sword, dagger, or knife.

A hilted dagger is distinguished from a bare blade.

The term appears most often in descriptions of weapons: a silver-hilted rapier, a jewel-hilted sword.

Something hilted is complete and ready for use, handle attached.
