Swords and daggers developed specifically for the rigors of stage combat by

Swordcrafters of San Diego ...

are offered exclusively by Weapons of Choice

 

    As you may know, Weapons of Choice has provided fight worthy weapons for stage since 1990. We still purchase thousands of weapons each year from a score of manufacturers, and have choreographed over 280 shows ourselves, so have learned a thing or two about replica weapons along the way:

    1) Swords made for renaissance fairs may hold an edge but can’t take a hit.

    2) Swords that can cut down a sapling can also cut through another sword.

    3) Swords must be both sturdy and light for maximum safety.

 

Swordcrafters makes combat weapons designed for the realities of stage combat classes, but which still look great for main stage productions. Now part of Weapons of Choice, these are fully fight-worthy swords, daggers, and impact weapons. When you see this symbol -- next to a sales item, you know that Swordcrafters has produced an affordable fight-worthy weapon and every steel weld is guaranteed for the life of the weapon.

 

see something in sales that you want to rent?

    Most sales items are also available for rent - at a substantial savings!

 

see something in rentals that you want to buy?

    Reversing a decades-long policy, all of our rental items are now also available for sale. So if there is something that you think you might want to own rather than rent, just drop us a line for a price quote. But a word of warning: many of the rental items are either no longer built or no longer imported, so are irreplaceable. Purchase prices are set accordingly.
