Heron Armoury was
created in 1990 in Herne Bay, Kent and has produced many swords, knives
helmets etc for use in re-enactment as well as living history pieces and
western martial arts. Each item is made for the requirements of the
individual and fit for purpose. My first
sword took two weeks to make and was destroyed in under 1 minute. My
surprise at the time and underestimation of the stresses swords are
subjected to under use, was the challenge that became Heron Armoury. |
| Over the last 20
years i have combined the strength required to withstand repeated use,
with something hopefully pleasing to the eye but I will let you be the
judge of that. Simply, I think a sword
should be strong reliable and pleasurable to the eye and hand . |
| Parry daggers are
constructed in the same way as the swords and hardened /tempered
for use. Heron armoury also makes forged items such as axes,
spears' and helmets mainly from 4thC-11thC. Most items are made to order
and built to the customers requirements. All swords and daggers are
guaranteed for one year under normal use. |

Tim is a re-enactor himself and understands the
stresses and wear that arms and armour have to take.
Heron Armoury weapons are made to the highest
standard and meet the safety requirements of most re-enactment groups.
If your group has specific rules please talk to Tim about them to make
sure your weapon will be within code.
