Look at the second blade down on this page he makes, the Hallstatt one. www.bronze-age-craft.com/swords_for_sale.htmI found a couple photos of original swords of that exact type to! Why were later steel swords never made with such cool looking blades? IMO, it seems like bronze age swords in general have more interesting and aesthetically pleasing blades than later swords.

It's easier to carve a mold to cast a bronze sword in an elaborate shape, than it is to work an iron or steel sword into that elaborate of a blade form might be one reason.

Yeah, that's what I thought it probably was.
That's probably the most interesting blade I've ever seen, I would save and get it, except I don't want to deal with buying something from another country, probably no return policy either.

It looks like it’s a UK company, in which case they are legally obliged to give you a full refund if the good are faulty.

And besides that, the best bronze sword maker I know of. Jpfranco's kopesh is by them.

Not a company at all; Neil is one man. He's great to work with and will cast and recast the blade you want until he's satisfied with it.
