QUESTION: Hi its Michael again.

Here's another question for yall. Where in the world can I buy a cheap sword blank. And for yall who dont know what a sword blank is. Basicaly its a sword that has nothing on it, its a hunk of metal in the shape of a sword.

I personally make handles for sword (not very good at it but it gets the job done) I would realy ap[reciate it if yall could tell me a good web site for cheep sword blanks.

once again thank you for all your help

ANSWER: Hi Michael,

Actually, I am not aware of any manufacturers who really sell sword blanks...

Some US and Canadian sword makers would likely be able to do one for you if you asked. You could try for example BKS (Baltimore Knives and Swords), Darksword Armoury, Starfire, Badger Blades, Valentine Armoury, etc - but I am not aware of anyone commercially producing them for the hobby market.

Though someone should!
