Sword-Making ․Artisan/Preserver - Chen, Yuan-Fang
Date：2023-05-26 ｜ Rate：1514The history of sword-making dates back to ancient times. Ever since the Iron Age the relationship between humans and metals has been extremely close, and casting skills developed during the 19th century Industrial Revolution had a massive impact. The quality we pursue today in the 21st century is not only durability and functionality, but also the inclusion of some artistic elements. Thus, thanks to advanced techniques, present-day swords display a diversity of decorative features.
To cater to a variety of developments, techniques have continued to expand, including the design, technical drawings, sword-making, sheath, grip, inlays, accessory creation, wood-working, metalworking, and fine design. These refined skills allow swords and sheaths to match perfectly, and also improve the ease of use for sword performers.
