where do you buy custom made "cost is no object" swords?

[Walleye]

i'm looking to commission something of my own design.

it'd be closest to a chinese polearm, but not exactly.

because of their "laser technology", i'm guessing they just cut it out of a block of steel or something. what i want is a workable, usable weapon, so it has to be hammer forged.

It's a real long shot, but maybe try looking up "Blacksmith" in the phone directory?

Well you could email and ask them if their swords come with useable blades before disccounting them.

There can be only one.

You say cost is no object, but how much do you plan on spending? Also, what is this for?

 

[MustangSVT]

Japan.

Toyko.

Contact Mr.Musashi.

Code: vagabond

u will need $2mil for the sword, but it will cut Solid steel as if it was butter.

 

[Walleye]

well, i was hoping for like suggestions on what to look for so i could establish a business relationship with them, because there's about 3 things i want commissioned.

something like a chinese polearm (my own design)
A katana
and the other one escapes me right now.


i'll try looking up swordsmith in the yellow pages, that just sounds funny... maybe it'll work



and lonyo, i'll also shoot an email off to them, ask if their blades are hammer forged.

for the polearm? few hundred, maybe. but the katana... a lot more.

 

[Walleye]

a cane sword. (sword in a cane)


that one i would walk around with

For a unique design, quantity one, hand-forged? I'd expect a skilled blacksmith to charge a little more than that. You might need to settle for machine-cut sheet metal at that budget level.
