This represents our interpretation of the fictional history of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, integrating the styles of the early to late Bronze age, the fictional iron age weapons inspired by Jody Samson and the movies, comic books, and of the neolithic peoples of Europe.
Swords and Daggers
Materials
Fine copper and bronze castings, including our version of historical Orichalcum. Blades of copper, bronze, iron (mild steel) and steel in designs based upon ancient historical models. Designed within the context of established canon as established by R.E. Howard.
Handles
Made of fossil ivory, Mammoth and mastodon bone, buffalo (closest relative to the Steppe Bison), camel, exotic and local woods and even carved and (not historical) Resin hardened Cuttlefish bone.
Scabbards
Are wood, leather covered wood and leather. Snakeskin covered wood will be special orders when available. No modern cow leather will be used, but American Buffalo being the closest relative to the Steppe Bison (and European buffalo or Wisent) leather will be the standard used, as will deer, elk and mountain goat as they too are fitting to the background. These will rarely be offered but belt and scabbard fittings can be ordered with sword with instructions and suggestions for styles by culture. For Cow Leather see our Ancient Earth Collection, where we use cow leather to simulate Auroch leather with the hair still on it such as with our Otzi Kits.
DIY Kts
Yes they well be available, including belt and scabbard fittings to make your own sheath and swordbelt, just buy your own leather and handle materials.
Bows
From time to time when we will offer historical bow kits but these will be very rare.
Spears
We will be offering spears in single and bulk (discount) prices in various styles, including Nemedian Boar spears (functional for hunting where legal). Sold with shafts.
Axes and Maces
Ancient Bronze and copper heads will be available. Sold with and without handles. (We prefer you make your own handle to make it unique.)
Stone Knapping tools
As all Hyborian exiles need to know to make stone tools so should you, we will offer instructions and kits on how. These will be listed in our Ancient Earth section.
