Three shiny new 42-inch hand-and-a-half swords (sometimes referred to as "bastard swords"). Part of the standard Gotham Armory collection. 1/4 inch thick 7075-T6 aluminum. 2 inches at the hilt, 8 inch guard, 8 and 1/4 inch grip, combat finish. $210 each, and they ring like bells.
A custom sword, dubbed the "Kampilan Katana" by the client, who gave me the initial design. It's made to be a Japanese/Filipino hybrid for William Porter, a martial artist from the Midwest, for use at an upcoming competition in Europe. 30 inches total, 20 inch blade. 7075T6 aluminum. Satin finish. Oak handle laquered red and covered with a crisscross wrap of black "tsunami" suede. I'll be adding it to the custom/miscellaneous section of the Gotham Armory website, just to give it a little more exposure. Thanks, Adam Alexander, for being my hand model!
My first Scottish dirk, modeled by yours truly, wearing the Scottish fighting jacket I got married in. Living room curtains courtesy of Chez DeCoux.
A whole mess of Talons with a mixture of composite and oak handles. I love making these!
A stage combat version of a diver's knife I made on a lark, y'know... just cuz I wasn't busy that week.
A thane sword, made specifically for my wife's 2010 production of Macbeth.
A 16 inch Bowie with 2 spanish notches, deep bevels, a mirror finish, a brass hilt, brass rivets, and a black maple handle. You can order your own for $170.
The first machetes I ever made, patterned after Filipino bolos. They came out real nice.
Some mirror-finish badassery I made for fight director Ted Sharon. All are 12-inch fighters. From left to right, The Talon, The Huntsman, The Desert Raider, The Fighting Bowie, and the Dragon Fang. All handles are stained oak, save the Talon, which is a homemade composite.
A bunch of machetes I fashioned for a production of Hamlet out West. Have at thee!
A pair of custom Machetes made for the "Skye of the Damned" web series. Light, brutal, and hard to put down.
A punch dagger with a custom composite handle and a mirror-finish blade. Sold, but not forgotten.
The Fallen -my most popular 12-inch fighting knife. Pictured here with a plastic handle and a mirror finish ($70).
I occasionally post pictures of my in-stock knives on Facebook to drum up business. All of these 12-inch fighting knives have been sold, but I can always make more!
A simple buck knife with a nice deep faux edge to make it look extra sharp,mabe 9 inches total length. Peened aluminum rivets in a stained oak handle.
14-inch long "Ancient" spearheads/daggers I made for a production of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's "Rough Magic" at Brooklyn College. Aircraft aluminum, pitted by hand, painted black and then dipped in amber shellac to give them the look and feel of having been carved from meteoric iron.
A blood knife made for one of my local fight director buddies. A large vinyl reservoir in the handle, covered by a removable plastic grip. The blood channel ports out through the base of the blade, so no tubes need to be concealed! Carries enough blood for three or four good squeezes! Future models will be sleeker and have even more realistic-looking handles.
The fake blood was made by an actor friend of mine and is strawberry-chocolate flavored. Delicious!
