Swords

I make both sharp and blunt swords and usually supply them with a scabbard and belt. I also make scabbards on their own for customers existing swords.

When I make sharp swords I strive to make a real, living weapon and so I ensure that as well as the quality of finish and materials you would expect I make a sword that handles and balances well and really feels part of you. As part of this I will pay attention to the blade geometry and percussion point as well as overall balance. I don’t make iron bars.

I rarely make my own sword blades but can supply a sharp from stock if I have an appropriate one or otherwise I commission Owen Bush to make the blade for the sword and though not cheap, they are worth every penny.

When I make blunts I try to make as good a sword as I can in terms of performance; some variables will be taken out of my hands such as percussion point, due to the nature of the blade but again I try to make the sword feel a part of you. When making blunts I use Armour Class blades, well known for their durability combined with a reasonable weight.

I occasionally have swords in stock, but generally make to order.

Scabbards

I love leatherwork and make scabbards for all my own knives and many commissioned pieces for daggers and swords.

I can make or supply all the metalwork and leather harness that may be required and will make the scabbard using wood and leather, leather only or fur lined wood/leather as appropriate to the piece.

Dagger scabbards are generally about £50 - £90.

Sword scabbards and harness are generally about £250 - £300.

I much prefer to have the weapon when I make the scabbard.
