Forged in Time - Medieval Lore, Handmade Swords, Handmade Knives, Bladesmithing

With the new Defender Longsword, Forged In Time is launching the Elite Line of swords and more. The Elite Line Swords and More products will all be entirely hand crafted by master bladesmith Benjamin Rial personally. Using only the finest materials and taking many hours of intensive hand labor, the painstaking process results in extremely fine quality individual pieces designed and built for performance that will last for generations.

Though not based upon specific historical examples, the Elite Line embodies the essence and soul of swords, and other weapons and tools, of the Medieval, and other, periods. Using design elements found on numerous antique examples and combining them with modern materials and over two decades of intensive study and practical experience results in pieces that are in many ways superior to original pieces.

Meticulously hand forged from 5160 high carbon spring steel and differentially heat-treated with a harder edge, softer spine and soft tang, the Defender Longsword is the first member of the illustrious Elite Line.

Other items to come are various tools and other weapons such as spades, picks, chisels, saws, war hammers, axes, shields, daggers, pouches, leather mugs for drinking, and of course swords and more!
