I cannot make copies of any of the swords I made for The Lord of the Rings, or answer questions about that production or any other productions that I am working on.
Although there are many of you interested in making swords and learning how to make swords, I am not in any position to offer apprenticeships or to take on assistants. There are many good books on knife and sword making available (please check the How to Make a Sword section), as well as internet interest groups such as Sword Forum International or Netsword.
But if you have any other queries, my email is: lyonesse@paradise.net.nz
or fax me at: +64 4 934-2523
