Hello everyone! I'm graduating from college this upcoming semester and as a gift to myself I wanted to commission a bronze sword.
Are there any noteworthy bronzesmiths who do good work with swords other than Neil Burridge? My google foo is lacking and unfortunately I came up with few results. I have no problem with him or his work, but I would be interested in examining all possible options. Particularly something custom - I was hoping to do a good amount of research and decide what aspects out of a variety of different swords I like best and amalgamate them into something pretty cool. If you have experiences with a particular maker, do tell!
Any feedback would be helpful!

I own an Ewart park bronze from Neil and couldnt be happier with it, Neil is probably your best bet.I was surfing round looking for other makers just for the hell of it and wow are the bronze makers few and far between. The only other one I found and I know nothing about was these guys and like I said I know nothing bout them except whats on the web page. www.bronsereplika.no/ |

I've basically gotten the same information from my research, I thought maybe I was just doing it wrong. I'll definitely check them out, just for the hell of it really.
Does anyone know if Neil does customs or pretty much only what's on his webpage? I'm curious.

You should look at Chris Levatino bronzeagewarrior.com/all-products/ I have no experience with him but KOA had a couple of his swords listed. Also, you might try Jeff Robinson (brother banzai). I don't know what his current situation is regarding commissions but the guy is both a talented bronze sculptor/caster and a talented sword smith. |
