We are excited to announce that Arms and Armor will be at SoCal Swordfight this year with a table of swords and other weapons to sell. We don't attend a lot of in-person events, mostly because we are too busy making the products that folks have already ordered, but we do try to make at least one or two events a year. This year we will be at our local event, Icebreaker in Minneapolis, and Socal Swordfight.
We are one of the few makers that produces and sells a full line of medieval and Renaissance arms, from sharp swords, daggers, axes, spears, and polearms, to a wide range of training weapons.
