Czech made sword is a phrase that gets typed by people who have already worked out that most cheap swords come from one or two places and want to know where theirs was actually made. The answer here is plain: every blade in this catalogue is handmade in the Czech Republic, then imported, inspected in Chicago and shipped from there. Nothing is assembled from parts bought in.
What comes out of the workshops
Overall lengths on this page run 36 to 40 inches. The knightly pieces cover an arming sword at 36 inches with red set stones, an etched knotwork band and a disc pommel, a blackened arming sword at 37 inches with a Yggdrasil tree pommel, a cord wrapped grip and a downswept guard, one with a white leather grip, a Celtic knotwork guard and brass toned fittings, one with a green leather grip, a blackened quatrefoil guard and triple fullers, and a Damascus piece with an etched knotwork panel and a brazil nut pommel.
