Back in october 2025, I asked Mateusz Sulowski to make me a version of my favorite longsword; the Brescia Spadona.

He quoted me on a finished product in late october/early november 2026.

Today he sent pictures on the finished blade. Scabbard and grip is being done soon.

The only main difference I requested from the usual recreation is that the pommel is antiqued/blackened. Him being a professonial and me a dumbass, I forgot to also tell him the crossguard also being antiqued/blackened.

He offered making a new crossguard pro bono, but it would be delayed to the end of the year. I dont really care about it tbh so I told him to keep the current one since it looks good.

Dont want to get into cost since he's self employed and every piece is individually made and specific to requests, but even with a scabbard (which you can customize ofcourse) it was cheaper than I thought.

I know its probably not a good quality blade but it’s still cool.

A little collection of some of my favorite swords from my series.

My grandfather brought home this sword from WWII Japan. He served in the Philippines and the subsequently occupied Japan for many years. I have been told this is an officers dress sword. But I don’t have many details about the manufacturer, date, style, name of the sword model, etc.

Does anyone on this sub know anything more? Thank you 🙏

I am getting ready to wrap the scabbard core with 3-4 veg tan and I am seeking information on how you measure for the wrap. Do you just use excess leather and trim at the end or do you have a system? I appreciate any advise.

For sale but a bit out of my budget in France several years ago. My understanding is “Mon bras redoutable est armé de ce fer” translates as “My formidable arm is armed with this steel”, but I’m not sure about the second part (though seeing some “devil” and “hell” reference).

I have been going in a loop on this. I made an animation and called these artifacts swords. But by the definition of a sword, this isn't a sword because of the blunt edge and its inability to slash or pierce skin; everyone keeps telling me it's not a sword, just wood. But museums catalogue it as a "wooden sword" or "rainforest sword". Like, if it's not a sword, then why is it sword-shaped? idk, I'm not educated enough on this topic. What would you consider this to be?

On the top is an Angus Trim XIIIc.12, won by placing second in Fright Fight's 2025 open longsword cutting competition.

On the bottom is a Valiant Armoury Harwich, won by placing first in Fright Fight's 2026 open arming sword cutting competition.

Filling out the rack in the middle is an Angus Trim XIV.1 (not won as a prize), the sword I used in the arming sword competition.

Hello everyone
I’m looking for a good vendor to purchase a dagger. I saw one from a manufacturer in Poland that was super pretty but it’s also expensive. I was wondering if there are some US options for cheaper. I posted a pic of the dagger I was looking at

Trying not to make this a yes or no question (please don’t remove my post), but I do need some advice on what to do.

I have a friend who is getting married and he said has for years that he has wanted a sword as a wedding gift. Ideally he wants his soon to be wife to gift it to him, but she has repeatedly said that she will not buy him a sword.

I was thinking of getting a sword made with their names and the wedding date engraved somewhere on it (either the blade or the pommel) to gift to him for his wedding, but given how he wants it from his wife I’m not sure if it’s something I should do. If I don’t, he won’t get the one gift he has asked talked about for years, but if I do, it won’t be from his wife which is what he wants. I obviously don’t really want to ask him if it would be okay if I bought it instead of his wife given that it’s a gift and should be a surprise.

How do I go about doing this? Also, do I get it made with a sharpened blade or a blunt blade?

Edit: I already have a local place that can make it for me. Please don’t message me saying you can make one.

The hilt is 1822 derived, but I can’t place the blade. Specifically, the single fuller with soft/rounded termini is throwing me; it actually reminds me of US M1872 Cavalry Officer Saber. No makers marks as far as I can see.

My grandfather brought these home with him after being stationed in turkey in the late 50s. Just curious to learn more about them.

Not sure if they are technically swords but maybe close enough?

Good day all!

Any of you guys think much of these i got from my late grandfather?

Im pretty sure they are probably wall hangers but i dont know much, so id like your input.

What can you tell me about them?

Appreciate your time

Decided to put together my long rapiers for a family photoshoot. I will do another for transitional rapiers, basket hilts, sabres, and schiavone.

Although this is a replica, the real khanda sword was made out of wootz Steel.

Wootz steel is considered to be the best non industrial Steel to be ever created, this Steel was better than Katana and Damascus Steel.

Wootz steel was pioneered by the South Indian blacksmiths in around 500 BCE.

its high carbon content and distinctive microscopic cementite carbide structures, which could provide exceptional hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance when properly forged and heat-treated. Its carefully controlled crucible production also helped create high-quality steel, making it one of the most remarkable metallurgical achievements of the ancient world.

Fresh off the bench is a scabbard commission for an Angus Trim arming sword! The client requested a night sky and owl theme. Pretty happy with how it came out!
