Technology

 

In the course of sword making, we place great emphasis on understanding the entire background of every process. Our goal is not merely to execute techniques, but to fully understand how and why each step works.
Our engineering background plays a key role in achieving this level of technical depth. The development of a new sword begins with historical research. When creating a new type, we study typologies, reference books, and original museum pieces. Once the appropriate form is selected, the design process begins.
As our swords are intended for sport and reenactment use, the original historical forms are carefully adapted: edges are blunted, tips are rounded, and handles are designed to allow secure rotation even when used with heavier fencing gloves.
Each sword is designed in 2D and 3D, where we calculate the expected weight and center of gravity. We analyze the forces acting on the blade using finite element analysis (FEA). Based on these results, the design is refined and verified before production.
Throughout the planning process, manufacturability is always a key consideration. Alongside traditional hand-forging techniques, we also utilize state-of-the-art CNC machining where it improves precision and consistency.
Material selection and heat treatment are critical to the durability and reliability of our swords. We exclusively use 51CrV4 steel, sourced directly from steel producers. Heat treatment is carried out under industrial conditions by one of the country’s most experienced professional specialists.
Each hardened blade is individually tested using a Rockwell hardness tester.
Some parts of the production process, however, remain a trade secret. 🙂
