Customize Your Own Sword
Use our custom sword builder to build your own sword by selecting the sword style, blade steel, length, handle design, construction, scabbard, blade engraving and personalization options.
Choose from a wide range of historical, fantasy, ceremonial and original sword styles. Battling Blades is a custom sword maker that produces each custom-made sword according to the specifications selected by the customer.
If the listed options do not match the design you want, choose Custom Design and upload a picture, drawing or written description for your custom-built sword.
Sword Style Options
Available custom sword styles include:
Available handles, guards and pommels vary according to the selected sword style.
Greek, Iberian, claymore-inspired and other historical designs may be configured through the related Ancient Sword or Greatsword options or requested through Custom Design.
Additional fantasy sword designs can also be created through the Custom Design option.
Steel Type
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance than high-carbon steel. It is commonly selected for decorative swords, ceremonial pieces and highly detailed custom designs.
1095 High-Carbon Steel
1095 high-carbon steel is a traditional blade material valued for its hardness, edge retention and substantial construction.
Our 1095 steel blades typically measure approximately 56–58 HRC. High-carbon steel should be kept clean, dry and lightly oiled to help prevent corrosion.
Damascus Steel
Our Damascus steel blades are made from layered high-carbon steels, creating a distinctive visible pattern. Natural variations in the pattern make each Damascus blade unique.
Damascus steel blades typically measure approximately 55–56 HRC and should also be kept clean, dry and lightly oiled.
Sword Length
Choose an overall sword length from 20 inches through 75 inches. Longer custom swords may be available by special request.
The appropriate dimensions and proportions depend on the selected sword style, blade shape, handle design and construction. Our team may recommend an adjustment when an unusual combination would affect the appearance, proportions or build of the finished sword.
Professional-Grade and Battle-Ready Construction
Customers seeking the most substantial available build can configure a professional-grade, battle-ready sword using compatible premium options.
A recommended premium build may include:
-
1095 high-carbon or layered Damascus steel
-
Full-tang construction
-
Hardened blade
-
Sharpened or unsharpened edge
-
Solid wood, micarta or wrapped handle
-
Securely fitted guard and pommel
-
Blade proportions suited to the selected sword style
-
Premium leather or wood scabbard
All custom swords receive a final inspection before shipment.
The term battle-ready construction describes the sword’s materials, blade, tang and hilt assembly. It refers to the build quality and construction of the finished sword.
Not every option is compatible with every sword design. We may contact you if a selected feature needs to be adjusted for structural, manufacturing or design reasons.
Guard and Pommel Styles
Choose from simple, traditional, decorative and highly ornate guard and pommel styles.
Available options may include:
Exact availability depends on the selected sword style and handle configuration.
Handle Material Options
Wood
A classic handle material with natural grain, a traditional appearance and a comfortable feel.
Steel
Provides a heavier, more substantial feel with a metal-finished appearance.
Wire-Wrapped Grip
Adds texture and a traditional wrapped-hilt appearance.
Micarta
A durable composite material known for its strength, stability and moisture resistance.
Additional materials, colors and wrapping styles may be available depending on the selected sword design.
Customization Features
Sharpened or Unsharpened
Choose a sharpened or unsharpened custom sword.
Sharpening provides a completed, finished edge. Custom swords are supplied unsharpened unless the sharpening option is selected. Sharpened swords require careful handling, secure storage and proper maintenance.
Full Tang
With full-tang construction, the blade steel extends through the handle, creating a stronger and more integrated assembly than a decorative partial-tang design.
Choose full tang when you want the most substantial construction available for your custom sword.
Fuller
A fuller is a groove formed along part of the blade. Depending on the design, it can reduce blade weight while helping maintain the blade’s structure and proportions.
Scabbard
A standard scabbard is included. Available upgrades may include:
-
Etched leather
-
Wrapped wood
-
Etched wood
-
Ornate jeweled designs
-
Multiple scabbard colors
A sword scabbard is also sometimes referred to as a sword sheath.
