In medieval history, one of the most important types of people was the blacksmith or “smithy.”  The smithy was responsible for the weapons replicas of today.  His job was to make, repair, and maintain the village weapons as well as those used in the medieval military.  Virtually all of the replicas in our catalog originated with a medieval blacksmith.  In addition to weapons, he made tools for the village and is also due credit for the armor replicas that are also available wherever medieval weapons replicas are sold.

The Evolution of Knife Throwing

In medieval times, many people used knives as weapons.  As you can tell from the designs on their replicas, these weapons were no less magnificent than other medieval beauties, like the dagger and sword.  However, if you wanted to purchase replicas of the medieval knives that were used for throwing, your weapons replicas would likely turn out to be made out of wood.  Well, at least if they were high quality replicas designed to look and feel exactly like the medieval weapons that inspired them.

Ancient History

Everything has a history, and medieval weapons are no exception.  In fact, there are so many stories behind today’s replicas that it would take almost as long to tell them as it did for the weapons to travel from medieval Europe to wherever it is that you are now storing your own special replicas!  Of course, we’re speaking of fact as well as fantasy.  As any true fantasy follower will tell you, the medieval world revolved around fire-breathing dragons, damsels in distress, and brave knights toting the same kinds of weapons the fantasy collector looks for when hunting down fantastical replicas.
 

The Men Behind The Weapons

The Parts of a Sword

Medieval weapons are familiar to us for the simple reason that we see replicas of them every day, in the movies, in movie ads, in picture books and reference books, even in display cases at various museums.  Actors and actress see medieval weapons replicas up close and personal every time they enter a set where a medieval period movie is being filmed.  Some of these replicas are designed to prevent injury during filming, such as the dulling of a sword.  For those of you who collect medieval weapons replicas, you see them every time you walk through your living room or wherever it is you have them on display.

Age of Chivalry

The sword was devised as a weapon of individual combat in the Age of Chivalry. In medievil times before the advent of gunpowder and rifles, swords were the weapon of choice for men that presented themselves as gentlemen, cavaliers, or mercenaries.
