Hand Forged Swords

Full length swords, forged and ground by hand rather than cast or stamped. Every blade in this collection is drawn out under the hammer, heat treated in our own shop and fitted with a tang that runs the length of the grip, because a sword with a stub tang is an ornament with a failure point.

We forge in high carbon steel and in Damascus, and we make the historical patterns people actually ask for: arming swords, longswords, sabres and machete style working blades. Guards, pommels and grips are fitted to the blade, not bought in and glued on.

If you plan to cut with a sword, buy on the construction rather than the photo: full tang, real heat treatment, a peened or properly fitted pommel. Read Damascus swords for the pattern work, or katana and Japanese swords for the curved blades. Collectors, see historical blades.
