On August 3rd we will take a closer look at the forging, artistry and craftsmanship in making these blades and what they represented in cultures in history and in story and legend.

Also, you'll want to check out the kickstarter campaign, Reclaming the Blade: Sons of Fire. The first documentary, Reclaiming the Blade, by Galatia films, explored the importance of the sword in Hollywood filmmaking as well as in warfare and its use in European martial art. It was narrated by John Rhys-Davies. A second documentary will be made, called Sons of Fire which will further explore the realm of myth and romance of the sword in storytelling and in history.
