www.bronze-age-swords.com/Right now, the only "battle worthy" bronze swords being made today are made in Britain by Neil Burridge. I will second that. I got his Limehouse sword just in time for Christmas. It's a great sword, light and well balanced. Neil work hardens the edges. I asked Neil to supply a hilt kit as well and you can se he suppled pre shaped blanks in oak and copper rod for riveting. Neil is good to buy from, very quick and happy to give advice. I've just completed the hilt using old piano key tops to provide ivory inserts. I've got a lot to learn about working in wood and ivory but I am pleased with the results. Any critisim or advice more than welcome.

Seeing your photos and how you finished it makes them much more attractive to me. Been looking at Neil's products for quite awhile now. I for one would appreciate a more detailed review. + 1.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Just a bump to say I have posted a review of the Limehouse sword in the Sword Reviews forum.

Look in Kult of Athena under Ancient swords. They have a couple of bronze swords there for under $200. US

Right, those are the Deepeekas. They are very overweight.
