Guild of the Gilded Hilt

The Guild of the Gilded Hilt specializes in handcrafted fantasy daggers axes, and swords by Shawn Bina.  Each one-of-a-kind weapon (I do not and will not make additional copies of any of my work) is made starting with a high carbon steel blade blank from a reputable forge such as Hanwei/Tinker, Windlass Steelcrafts, or a reclaimed vintage axe head.  The blades are altered to my design through stock removal and are then hilted with custom designed guards, handles, pommels, etc.   

Blades are hand etched with fantasy motifs, and each weapon has an accompanying handcrafted leather sheath which I designed specifically for the blade .   Designs may use a variety of materials, including steel, brass, copper, antler or horn, exotic hardwoods, leather, and glass.   Swords and daggers all constructed with hidden or through tang designs and have steel alignment pins used throughout the guard and handle construction.
