Hi there,

I dont know if this has already been asked (apologies for repeat thread :sign72: ). Is there a list or a thread where I can get info on British smiths that design/make/customise knives and swords.

I googled it and can only find RavenArmoury. Are there any other smiths out there?

I am particularly interested in Katana/wakizashis with a western flair.

Thanks
R

Hi Reaper,

There are several here (almost certainly the most number of British smiths in one place anywhere:))

As Mike says, there will be a whole bunch at the knifeshow, mebbe a thread in members classified, wanted.

That way, smiths can decide if they are able/want to supply what you need & other members can make suggestions;)


Good luck

If you look in the picture gallery, I believe there is a section for swords, go through the pictures and in the comments section should be the name of the maker. An example I can think of on here is Xunil, but I dotn know what styles he makes.

Good luck and be sure to share the pics, especially if its someone not already known on here :D
