r/SWORDS

Hey! Here is the final pictures of the scabbard for Hearth Keeper!

Traditionally wrapped and stitched leather, with copper and silver fittings; the locket and chape are made from sheet steel and the attachment rings are forged from several century-old Iron :)

I love how this came out and completes the project in the way I originally imagined it. This project will be going to a good home thankfully. 🙏❤️

If you’d want to see how I made the sword itself, check out the full build over on my YouTube page;

thanks for checking it out here! Now to get the next one completed! :)

My girlfriend got it for me from a ren faire

A while ago i considered buying a Honshu mystery box ( 5 random items for under 500$) I realy liked the concept of getting five new swords and i am not that picky (

I like all swords equally :-) l. Sadly i discovered that one of the 5 items is a plastic training sword an item I have no interest in. Furthermore the shipping costs to my country are pretty high, and i would not ship an item i do not need. So it would just go to waste.

I thought about giving my wife a budget of under 500$ to buy random swords from Kult of Athena and not tell me to keep the surprise, but she is not realy into swords and would probably buy junk or wall hangers.

Eventually i just bought 5 cheap yet functionall swords and called it a day:

1. A modern version of a chinese Dao from Cold Steel 50$

2. Egyptian style stainless steel Khopesh from Devil's Edge 63$

3. A Musha ( sourknownkown for cheap yet functional katanas) 1045 Katana for 70$ with a red scabbard.

4. another more expensive 1065 Katana fron Musha for 125$

5. A modern version of a Gladius from Combat Commander ( something between a dagger and a sword sword) 43$

Overrall it cost about 417$ after tax. The shipping and storage vost me about 300$ but eventually i got the swords. And i am very happy with the results. Since i promised way back to share what got if i ever bought the mystery box. I guess this it is what it is. A self made mystey box. Without the mystery but with the swords :-)

P.S

I blurred my face to protect my privacy but i kept the smile. :-)

Can anyone tell me anything about this guy just got it back from an uncle who passed away

cool blue katana I spent a good amount on

Siege the Day! is an animated medieval dark-comedy series (think Game of Thrones meets The Inbetweeners). ⚔️

The world is inspired by real medieval art (like illuminated manuscripts and marginalia), which gives it a really distinct visual style you don’t usually see in animation.

Right now, we’re crowdfunding to produce the fully animated half-hour pilot episode.

The goal is to bring the world, characters, and tone to life at full quality!

If you’re into adult animation, medieval settings, or slightly unhinged humour, this is exactly the kind of project we’re building.

If you want to check out the FULL 2 minute trailer, you can find the link to our Kickstarter in the comments 👇

A few people have been posting their creations from r/bladesong (go join the discord also go get the free demo)

These swords, from Axalariss, RainMaker, Robin Birdsong, Tossasheep, Nirrum the mad, and Momo, are a diverse selection of things the community has made and a bit of a better sample of what's possible!

We'd love to see more people from this community joining us in Making swords!

Mostly looking to sell em since I don’t really have a use for them, dont know where is a good place to sell. So some recommendations of places would be helpful .

I tried making a short arming sword with a straight guard and I just couldn't. it was just so incredibly boring. so I gave it a sweeping crossguard with finger loops, a waisted ricasso, and a hand and a half grip because I grew up with katanas and like a long grip.

its stats

OAL: 90cm

BLADE: 65cm

GRIP: 20cm+5cm pommel

PoB: 12cm from crossguard

MASS: 0.9 kilos

made using Bladesong, buy it now so I get more updates and they can finish the story. I swear to god if this shit ends on a cliffhanger because people don't buy it enough I will cry.

This is an old family heirloom, we know next to nothing about it except that it *may* have been picked up at Bull Run. One would guess by the designs that it’s a Union Sword but I thought someone here would know more than me. Thanks!

Lord of Battles now has 2 NEW premium swords being made. I was lucky enough to pick up 1 of each for myself at their headquarters. These will be more readily available soon™ (Summer 2026). If anyone has any questions about them - or anything Lord of Battles / Medieworld - let me know. Happy to give any live Q and A of the products we have out / coming out.
Spanish Cup Hilt Rapier, inspired by the iconic swords of 16th-17th century Europe
Swept Hilt Rapier Sword, inspired by the iconic civilian weapons of 16th-17th century Europe

I own a gunshop and customer brought in this sword. Only markings on it are at the base of the blade by the handle a crest on one side that is covered by a tab and the letters HM on the other side also covered by a tab that indexes into the leather sheath. Any help identifying it would be great as well as a rough value. Blade is roughly 27-28” long, it is also RAZOR sharp which was surprising.

It was given to my grandfather sometime in the late 40s or early 50s in Debrecen, Hungary. It’s about 25 inches long in total. The blade is somewhat dull. I don’t know much about swords, so I’m unsure if it’s replica or real.

Im looking for a new sparring short sword, but im not that well oriented in the art of online sword shopping. If annyone knows any reasonable priced online stoores or know of any modells that fit this look pleace link in the comment section! Does not have to be as detalied, but the shape of the guard and pommel are the most important. Would appreciate it greatly!

Hi,

I have recently found this gladius-style sword and I’m trying to identify which model it is.

• Blade length: ~ 47 cm
• Total length: ~ 60 cm
• Weight: 560 g
• No visible markings (likely lost due to corrosion)

From what I understand, it looks like a French 1831 artillery or infantry model, but I know there are also firefighter and National Guard versions.

Which variant do you this it is most likely to be ?

Any insights or comparable examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you !

I cannot find any makers marks on my new Gurkha knife so I don’t know if it a replica or not I also don’t know how to restore it properly as the handle I think is horn

marketplace find trying to figure out where it's from. the fit is surprisingly tight. that's all that's left of the scabbard.
