Vizier Zaair is the advisor to King Fanden and affectionately referred to as "#1 nerdy boy".
He is also the regional representative of Askiar in the fictional realm that the Michigan Renaissance Festival takes place in.

Pirate Daggers in progress and a finished Pirate Dagger

Christian designed and made a handful of these many years ago and had posted a few pics on our social media. We've been getting requests to make more of them ever since.
So here goes.
What do you all think?

Smaug's Bane dragon themed sword, a new design we created this year. We made a few to bring out to the MI Ren. Fest. this year. We're eager to show her off to our friends there.
This one is wearing a very chic black finish on her high carbon, heat treated steel blade and she's just over 40" long.

Most of the artists selling their works at Renaissance, medieval, & Viking festivals, create their own wares.
If you want to be sure that an artisan at an event is truly making their own craft, talk to the people in the shops.
We love to chat with folks who come into our booths...

Behind the scenes of our shop at the Michigan Renaissance Festival is always a bustle of activity.
Steve and Devin are on the job, doing leather work, sharpening blades, wrapping handles, etc...to make sure our up-front counter folks can take care of our customers. Steve is sharpening a battle axe.

Do you think Rob loves his job at the Michigan Renaissance Festival? 😁 And we love him too.
This outstanding performance of 'Unconditional' by Halflives seems a good fit.

One of a kind, large morningstar that we made to display in one of our windows in our shop at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. We make a lot of things for our shows, that we don't list on our website.

Which do you like better, the bare steel or the black finish on the blade?

Even guys who make swords for a living enjoy finding a good sword-like stick on the beach.

Another perspective split frame featuring Reverend Joshua Gerics with one of our 4-Button Spiked Battle Axes at the Michigan Nordic Fire Festival. If you want a spectacular tattoo artist to ink you, he's your guy.

Backyard fun in the Michigan summer.
War hammer against Vernors Ginger Ale
If you don't know about Vernors, you're probably not from Michigan. 😉 The vapors were heavy for at least a 20-foot radius of the smashing. 🤣

One of our biggest war hammers, our Gothic War Hammer.

This was at our space at the Motor City Comic Con a couple of years ago. Is she the Jedi Knight, Rey?

Lauren's Standard Short Sword
This pretty blade will be used in an upcoming Aug. wedding.
When a bride and/or groom wears a sword in their wedding ceremony, those in attendance better think twice before standing up to object to the wedding taking place. 🗡😂

One of our online customers asked for a patina finish on one of our Flat Gothic Longswords. Steve put finishing touches on it yesterday and will begin making the sheath & baldric for it next week.

Here's a perspective image of our Large Scimitar that one of our followers on one of our social media platforms asked for. It helps to get size if you can see somebody holding our work. #sword #swordart #Michiganartist #bladeart #scimitar
