My Story
I wasn't even 14 years old, but my passion for swords was already so strong that I got to know the weapons of different historical eras with the weapons expert of the National Museum.
I spent days under the spell of weapons. Historical fencing came almost naturally as a hobby, and at the age of 16 I made my first sword. From then on, more and more people asked me to make swords for them. That's how it started. It's been 32 years, but I'm still making swords. Not for myself anymore, but for traditionalists demanding their equipment. Even for you.

A little insight

The steel I'm work with

The steel raw material I use most often is cold or hot rolled 51CrV4 steel. In the case of damask blades, the C60 material is also used. The choice of material is always made after learning about the customer's needs, during the consultation. I assemble the raw material differently for fencing or test cutting, but the torsion damask raw material is also different from the blade forged from 5 stripes. It's some kind of science, believe me!

Knowledge

In addition to steel, I am also a lover of books. There isn't a history fair where I wouldn't find a new (or old, no longer available) book about weapons from different historical periods. Many people think this is no longer normal, to buy a lot of historical books, but ... that's how I am. The expansion of scientific knowledge has not stopped, why should I?

Custom Swords for You

Only in recent years have I realized how many different types of swords I have made according to the ideas of my dear customers. Considering different historical eras, fencing styles, body sizes, findings and descriptions, I worked so that at the end of the process, a masterpiece could end up in the hands of the customer. I admit that there are requests that I cannot fulfill, but this is a rare case.

Picture Gallery

Allow me to show you some pictures of my work without pretense of completeness. I wouldn't be able to make them all the same because I make swords mostly by hand. Each one is unique and unrepeatable. Many people believe that a find or representation can form the basis of each reconstruction, but I think that in the past there were no 2 completely identical swords (the case of standardized weapons is a completely different matter), so serial production is not my goal either.
