More Info
Working alongside one of our experienced blacksmiths, you’ll collaborate to design and forge one spectacular decorative sword using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Everyone has a role to play, from designing the blade, crossguard and pommel to heating, hammering, shaping and assembling the finished sword. It’s a fantastic way to bring people together, encourage teamwork and create plenty of laughs along the way.
To make your sword even more meaningful, you can add optional laser engraving, including your company logo, team name, family crest, names, a meaningful date or a personalised message. If you’re celebrating a stag or hen party, your finished sword can become an unforgettable wedding keepsake, with the bride and groom using it to cut their wedding cake, a memorable tradition that’s guaranteed to impress guests and create incredible photographs.
Whether you’re rewarding your team, celebrating a stag or hen party, welcoming overseas visitors, marking a milestone birthday or simply looking for something completely different, you’ll leave with a stunning handcrafted sword, individual keepsakes (for groups of five or more), unforgettable photographs and memories that will last a lifetime
