This website is devoted to rich cultural recreations of African style weapons circa 12th through 19th century. Here at African Arms you will find a diverse assortment of edged weapons such as swords, knives, axes, spears, and knobkerries (clubs). All recreations draw from historical accounts, period paintings/drawings, publications, and both ceremonial and functional examples found in museums. Each recreation is made to capture the essence of traditional African blacksmiths. Feel free to view the Catalog and choose a piece for recreation or glance over my past work. Please enjoy.
