ONE DAY SWORD MAKING COURSE

This style of sword is called the Ewart Park Leaf and comes from the middle bronze age period approximately 3,000 years ago, Bronze age swords differ greatly in their design but very much portray the skill set of the early metal workers of the bronze age period. This style is not only elegant to look at but is also quite light for a sword weighing around 750 grams making it easy to use in battle.
