We've taken swords directly from the manufacturer and designed each one to not only achieve more of an authentic look, but perform the way we expect our swords to perform. Each hilt is unique to the sword, and each sword demands a unique style to bring out it's maximum performance. We do all this & sharpening too for a price that would be considered ridiculously low by any other vendor! Not to mention, we're the only vendor in the sub $300 market that offers customization!

We strip the old grip completely off and re-shape the hilt to meet our specifications. When the hilt is ready for dressing, we wrap it in premium leather, and carefully inspect it so that each and every sword that goes out would proudly represent our custom collection. You can turn an ordinary sword into a one of a kind family heirloom that will be passed down through generations. Not only do we strive for a better visual appearance, but we also assure of actual improvement in sword usage with a grip that allows you to command the sword to it's fullest potential.

Custom options are currently off the table at AoV. We may be bringing them back in the future. Until then, please view links below for custom sword and scabbard makers.
