I have members videos following my grip making processes 👌

This pommel for a dragon themed sword was sculpted entirely by stock removal techniques.

Friends don't let friends buy swords from ebay and etsy these days. Most of these sellers are in Pakistan and have made an industry of selling cheap shitty replicas of swords from reputable custom sword makers. Their product may or may not exist. They will list our photos of our work, use our spec sheet, and even impersonate us personally including using our faces on their profile pic. If you do choose to buy knock off swords from Pakistan I hope you enjoy them as ornaments, but don't expect them to be the same as the listing image and for heavens sake DO NOT USE THEM!!

Hi folks 👋 My name is Brendan Olszowy, a custom Sword Smith in Australia and I've made a lot of bespoke Hobbit/LOTR/Tolkien inspired fan art for people over the last 19 years that I've been making swords. They're all fully functional heirloom quality real swords.

I've attached a sample of images from my portfolio here but there's so many more in my full portfolio along with all the specs and such.

I hope it's OK to share these and hopefully I can offer a more in depth look at some of them for you if there's interest?
