Welcome to Darkwood Armory

Thank you for coming to Darkwood Armory's website. We build some of the most durable theatrical,  SCA*, and WMA** reproduction rapiers and swords in the United States, and we can ship all over the world. They are designed for use as practice weapons, not just for wallhangers! We also carry many accoutrements to make your practice safer and more authentic.

*SCA - Society for Creative Anachronism, see www.sca.org for more information.  **WMA - Western Martial Arts, see the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/Wiki/western_martial_arts  for more explanation.

MAY 16- Terry Tindill has changed his gorget pattern just a little to accommodate for a larger range of neck sizes. Gorgets can now range from 15" to 20" and still have overlap. Thank you, Terry!

All of our blades (so far) meet the new SCA requirements for flexibility.

Please see the new 3-quillion daggers in "Complete Weapons" and the new lower price on the tourney baton for Equestrian Combat in "Jousting Supply" .

 GIFT CERTIFICATES - please call us or email us if you wish to give gift certificates. We are STILL having issues with the site-produced certificates and have taken them off the website to keep our own frustration levels manageable.

We hope to be at the following events:

• May 7-13 - CMAI and Lysts on the Lake, Austin TX (date changed)
• May 24-28 - SCA Steppes Warlord, Canton TX (Osprey)
