Over the decades they have expanded to become one of the largest suppliers of military swords in the world. They are also well known for making high quality licensed replicas of swords, armour and historical clothing seen in Hollywood movies.
Their swords are forged from high quality, high carbon steel and tempered with the most advanced heat treating process available. They are flexible, well balanced and lightweight making them ideal for practicing historical swordplay techniques.

Gurkha Officer's Kukri (Official Spec.)
Our Officer’s Kukri is manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts. It is a little smaller than the standard regimental weapon, but its grip is made of natural buffalo horn. The blade of tempered carbon steel came from the same forge that has made the official edged weapons of the Indian Army for years. The officer's model has a short, narrow fuller from the grip to the curve of the blade and the typical cutouts that symbolise the god Shiva's trident. It has a full tang, which is riveted to the brass pommel end.

This Officer’s Kukri includes a wooden scabbard covered with black buffalo leather and a brass chape. At the back, there are two pockets for the smaller accompanying knives, the karda and chakmak. The holder for the belt loop is removable as required.

Pleasant Peasant Dress - Red
Dresses in the style of this distinctive, red one were especially popular in the 12th and 13th centuries, the age of the princess cotehardie. The wide trumpet sleeves are shirred above the elbows for an elegantly tight yet comfortable fit and the skirt is very generously cut. Simply pull the dress over your head to put it on, and use the waist cincher to adjust the waistline to flatter your figure. Without the waist cincher, this dress can also be worn as a chemise beneath a cotehardie or a bodice and skirt.
