Hello again This time I'm looking for quality smiths to make a custom fantasy sword. I am not new to swords and know what to look in a good sword, just new to the western and fantasy section of the world. Currently I know of Lundemo at Odinblades and Brendan at fableblades. If it's possible to link a portfolio to the maker work, the better.
Thank you for your time.

Fable and Odin are probably among the top two.
For a more 'realistic' blade-- that is, a fantasy sword that resembles a historic Western sword, such as a sword inspired by the Lord of the Rings films-- I could also suggest Michael Pearce, but currently I don't believe he's accepting commissions, unfortunately. Worth a try asking him, though.
For a less 'realistic' but still functional look-- try Baltimore Knife and Sword. Ben Potter is also another smith to check out.
If you want to roll with the low cost approach: Hanwei Tinker bare blades and Yeshua's Sword fittings. Ernie does amazing work and I cannot recommend him enough.

I need for a blade that I'm sure no one manufactures, so full custom is the only way. Will check them out, thank you.

What price range are you looking to stay in? I give a BIG recommendation for Brenno at fable blades, awesome guy and awesome blades. And how do you guys feel about Ollin?

I actually have no set price range, as I look for connection with the maker first. Already got an estimation from Brendan at Fable, and waiting to hear back from others.
