Death Dealer Axe, Rhomphaia, Middle Earth Warrior Sword, Mycenaean Naue Swords

We have recently been opening up some of our discontinued items on our site to our customers. Some of our items are marked “no longer available to order” due to having to manage high order lists in our shop year round. We have recently slowed enough to open some of these back up for a short time, on a limited quantity basis. Thought we’d share some pictures of some of the swords that have opened up at the moment:

That axe is just... beautiful and deadly. Wow. Well done sir!

Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

You are very welcome!
And steaming the handle is something that not many people understand. A turned haft will never be as strong as a haft that has kept the grain intact and then been steamed. It's the way the Vikings did their axe handles.

You are correct. Keeping that grain in tact and bending them, then letting it dry solid is the way to go. Thanks again,

That axe is next level cool. Very well done. I still remember the image from the original Frazetta and this nailed it.

Thank you. I've been a fan of Frank Frazetta since I was a young boy. Had all the books.
