These aren't made until after you place the order.
There is also a lot of time put into these blades, so expect two to three weeks until they are completed, then time for shipping.
Shipping is paid by the buyer.
If I am backed up with orders then it may take longer than three weeks to get them made.
My forge is outside so weather is a factor.
To place an order:
E-mail me with a picture of a design you like.
The more pictures the better.
I will draw the blade up and redesign, if nessesary to make it functional (a knife may look cool but little details make an enormous differnt to its comfort and functionality). I will then e-mail The pictures along with comments and suggestions back to you. This design is a representation of what it will look like and may vary remember hand forged.
I may also send along variations of the design for you to choose from and other possible options.
If you are designing this blade yourself keep in mind:
All of my blades are deigned to be fully functional to do what it was designed for. Most fantasy designs are impractical and cannot be used either as a tool or weapon. I also have no way of heat-treating most of their complicated shapes. I differentially heat-treat my blades, and most fantasy blades wouldn't survive the harsh quenching of the steel..
With the design you send me give me approximate dimensions and also the purpose of the blade.
Whether wall decoration, stage reenactment blades, or gardening tool, I need to know how it will be used. This is my guidance as to how i will choose to forge it. etc. also to help keep it at a cost you can afford.
Draw several pictures of the design in as many angles as you can, and it doesn't hvae to look good. I am an artist, so I can make it look better. Also add notes along with it telling me any thing about this blade that you think I will need to know.
BETTER TO GIVE ME TOO MUCH INFORMATION THAN NOT ENOUGH
After we come up with a plan that we both agree on I will make the knife. don't feel rushed or obligated into somthing I can always change it.
