European Swords Resources
Web Links This list of links is a collection of European Sword Makers and / or resellers that I have come across on the web. Bear in mind that not all those resources will provide swords suitable for reenactment or historical swordplay study. In fact most of those will provide a majority of wall hangers. Still a handful are professional swordsmiths that can provide custom-made blades of very high quality. Hopefully these will be useful to those who seek to broaden their resources.

Should you have suggestions of links to add to this list, please drop me a line to let me know. I'm sure there's a sword maker or two in places like Ireland or Poland (Thanks Andrzej) that I am yet to find...
