Craftsman focusing on blades from the 15-16th centuries, mainly from the HRE.
Also, apparently I enjoy directing/organizing photoshoots. If you want to support this side project, consider supporting my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/bladesnladies
A pretty special belt hook for a danse macabre themed dussack. Turned out pretty well, especially considering that I only spent about 50 hours on learning the skills. (I was thinking and theorizing a lot about it since my teens, but that's somewhat different than actually doing it)

I'm done with a blinged-up heavy l'Olonnais dussack. Pommel is hollow and it (along with the cross and shell) is japanned.

Short grip sharp Rugger with byknife with plum grip slabs. Also, the review by @skallagrim.bsky.social went up recently, check it out!
(and I still didn't have 15 minutes to watch it hmpppfff)

I obviously had to organize a shoot with the blinged-up Messer before I shipped it out.

Getting close to completion.

Progress on a pretty unique suspension.

Almost done now...

Strap divider for a baldric, based on a late 15th century statue, also custom shell and cross for a pimped-out l'Olonnais dussack.

We just managed to snag 550kg of old growth buxus sempervirens on the company side. Due to invasive, species-specific moths and a blight, such old specimens likely won't happen on the planet anymore. These were planted in the 18th century, and died about 5 years ago.

Late period Messer / transitional saber all done except for the grip. The spine starts off at 10mm thick, but distal taper and a quite flat triangular cross-section keep it pretty light.

Two blunt Volkers, both in plum, one with a custom hand-forged Nagel.

Progress on some neat stuff.

If I'm bitching about something, and then that something changes, then I think the correct thing to do is to point out the change as well. Explicit label got removed.

Of course they did 😃

Also, let me check real quick if bluesky changed anything or they'll relabel this as porn again. Pic from a fantasy shoot with a spatha.

I'm still alive, doing a lot of stuff, I just have a hard time remembering to post here. I'll try being better at it.
July 30, 2025 at 8:32 AM
Plus something really nice from the day job.

And a fresh scabbard plus a new leather grip wrap for a Landsknecht longsword I did a while ago. Also the bypieces are "fake" in this case as per buyer's request.
June 2, 2025 at 4:33 PM
I also did a bunch of higher status bypieces.
June 2, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Finished pics of the scabbard I posted about earlier.
June 2, 2025 at 4:30 PM
So I don't know how quick other people work,but this 6 hours of leatherwork definitely felt like a speedrun.
May 10, 2025 at 4:35 PM
Scabbards and a sheath. The unfinished one is a parchment-lined scabbard core for a very expensive Katzbalger. The wood is 1.2mm thick, and it'll get a linen wrap, on which I'll build the subsheaths for a couple of bypieces, build the foundation for the decor, and wrap it in reindeer leather.

I did a lot of stuff recently including some nice bollocks, plus I'm still organizing photoshoots.

Busy sorting through the raw photos of the most recent photoshoot. We did a lot of pictures, both SFW and NSFW. I see no point in posting any of the latter here, but have a sampling of the former. Rebeka was great and luckily she enjoyed it a lot.
