As a Gorean Gemsmith I create not only jewelry but fine weapons and locks. Pictures do exist for some work butcustom work I do often does not exist in picture form, all crafted pieces are described in words Selling prices for custom work are usually higher than simpler, less expensive pieces that can be produced in quantity. Though I do quantity work, the great majority of patronage is custom work. I do repeat use of a design, especially when a customer requests it. Prices listed here are based on cost of materials.

Short Sword


It is about twenty to twenty-two inches long, double-edged, and well balanced.
  Its blade is so sharp that it will slice a piece of silk dropped down on it
 Heavy enough to have a considerable striking force in saberlike trajectories but light enough to have some of the swiftness and play of a foil.

Scimitar


Forged in the Damascus manner, it has a wickedly curved, single-edged blade, honed to razor-sharpness. 
 The overall blade length is perhaps thirty or more inches, with an eight inch long "false-edge" across the back of the tip, for backhanded slashes.
 This razor sharp, curved blade is generally about 30 to 36 inches long.
 The back 3-8 inches has a false edge that can be sharpened for back slashes.

Long Sword


The Long sword is commonly used by the warriors of Torvaldsland.
Approximately 36 inches in length, the forging of these "long swords" follows the pattern of the swords in the Damascus style.
 In this method, many billets of steel, both hard (high carbon) and soft or flexible (tool) steel are beaten together under heat and folded back upon itself and beaten flat again.  This folding creates a blade with both a tremendous amount of flexibility and also one that is virtually unbreakable.
Treated with a mild acid solution, reveals the pattern formed by the layers of the different steels
This pattern is different from blade to blade and gives the sword it's unique appearance
