Trollkarl swords are, as a standard, built for training.

After all, what is a wooden sword that you can't use? The idea is almost criminal.
These items all represent the desire to create training gear of both the utmost beauty and rigidity, serving faithfully for the long haul. Special attention is always put in the engineering of these pieces, making sure that there is always enough material where it counts, and that that material is as rigid as possible.

By and large, yes.
In the overwhelming majority of the world, wooden swords are recognized as martial arts training equipment, and are generally legal to own and use. However, there may be regulations regarding their use in public spaces or during certain activities such as events, demonstrations, or outdoor training in & around the public.
It is always best to check local laws and regulations for the 100%.

Wherever you are, yes.

Let's talk!

Custom commissions are a huge part of how Trollkarl Armory has grown over the years. This is a service I will continue to offer until the day I close my workshop doors.

This has been difficult to nail down over the years, as the process undergoes constant evolutions and refinements. Methods get reinvented, new tools get created, and streamlining improves with repetition.

There was a time, when this project was still in its infancy, where a single sword took up to 30 hours.
Today, I aim at around 10-15 builds per month.

Custom pieces are considerably more unpredictable, requiring special individual attention that is not always possible to batch, and thus very often require longer lead times.

Trollkarl swords come fully finished with a dual coat of natural shellac, and require no upkeep or intermittent re-oiling.
To prolong their sheen and fine finish, however, it is advised to keep them away from excess moisture, clear from falling onto something rough that may scratch the surface, and storing them safely.

Additionally, you may wish to consider adding a Scabbard or Stand to give your sword an honoured home when not in use.
