From what I've seen on the reviews, even the best forged fantasy blades aren't 100% functional or since they are mass produced the design flaws cannot be improved at the client's request.

Well, there's a forge in Rosario, Argentina, where they make fantasy swords at the request of the client. They are a sword masters family and they take pride on the quality of their swords. I own the Strider sword from them and the blade is the best out there. It's just like it would have been if Aragorn really existed =P.

Here's the website Espadas Medias. All the blades you see are 100% functional, and ready to take a nice beating. They make international shipments, so it's worth to take at least a look.

Didn't look at anything else.

Your spanish doesn't fail you. Indeed they are made of aluminum for those who want it. But if you consider that a design flaw (because you are planning to use it for medieval reenactments) you can have them done of the same steel than the blade.

Let me say that I don't work for them nor am I part of that family, I'm just a happy client.

I'll get more pictures and even post some videos of me testing the sword any time soon.

Thanks for bringing these to our attention Agustinlv. Functional fantasy swords are a good thing

Not a big fan of some of their designs, but some are really nice. Round grips are a no no, But good looking blades.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
