The Riddle of Steel

 

Mounds of Metal

The idea of the sword is fascinating. The art of the construction, the process of forging, the realization of purpose in battle, and the noble ideals that lie behind man's most beautiful and most deadly creation are just some of the irresistible attributes that people are drawn to through this ancient and awe-inspiring art form. In the early stages of this blog, I aim to familiarize you, the life long devotees of the savage steel, with my life long admiration and devotion to the sword through information, images, audio and video. I also aim to bring to light many of the hundreds of amazing sword smiths, forgers, art works, and hidden treasures of the world of the sword. Along the way, I hope to share my intimate knowledge of what I consider to be, the finest works of steel available on the modern market and hopefully get you hooked into the aesthetic, as well as the functional, beauty of man's most excellent weapon.
