About production

All swords and other weapon replicas offered are products of our company, handmade in the Czech Republic. During production, we do not try to imitate historical steel processing techniques in detail, we use traditional blacksmithing where it makes technical sense. Our production process ensures complete reliability and long service life of each blade. When heat treating steel, we proceed according to the highest industrial standards. The blades of all swords are made of 14260 (54SiCr6) steel, with a hardness of 50 HRC. This degree of hardness ensures full use of the potential of the given steel alloy. A higher degree of hardness would be counterproductive, because the steel becomes more brittle.

We use a unique hilt design, where the pommel is brazed with brass. This design has many advantages over the traditional method. Compared to a peened pommel, there is the possibility of easy repair of a broken pommel, and also higher strength of the hilt, because the hilt does not narrow. It also allows for a tight fit of the guard, because the thickness of the hilt is constant. The guard is only tightly fitted to the blade, without a solid connection. This construction dampens vibrations and significantly reduces blade material fatigue, although it requires occasional maintenance in the event of heavy use of the sword. For some weapons we use a threaded pommel, but always the largest possible diameter (M12 for broadswords, M10 for swords and M8 for daggers). Some sword and dagger handles are also newly made using 3D printing.
