Hi, I’ve looked through your website and am very excited as I bought a used fantasy sword for my son and want it cleaned. It’s very very difficult to find anyone that cleans swords! I would very much like to have you clean this sword so that I can give it to him on his birthday (in August). One simple piece of information that I can’t seem to locate on your website….where are you located??
You give me an address and I’ll send you the sword.
Sounds like a pretty good deal as long as I get the sword back…smiles
Information on how to wrap for shipping would be great also.
Thanks
Patricia

I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to clean your sword/swords for you. Seeing how swords aren’t that hot of a commodity. haha! But that is why blademaid.com is here! For people like yourself who need their items cleaned and don’t quite know where to turn. Please spread the word to anyone you know who might be in this same dilemma!
I’ve sent you a reply messsage to your e-mail! thanks again!

Do you make swords? Also, how much would it cost?
Unfortunately no. At this stage I simply don’t have the time to make full-size swords. With the cleanings and the appraisals that i have going on, it makes it difficult to make room for forging. However, i do occasionally make knives per request. If you would like, i can send you a copy of some of my designs and their respective prices. All of them are hand-forged and come with a leather sheath. Let me know if you are interested. Depending on the design, it can take anywhere from one to two months to complete. Thanks!
