Heron Armoury was
created in 1990 in Herne Bay, Kent and has produced many swords, knives
helmets etc for use in re-enactment as well as living history pieces and
western martial arts. Each item is made for the requirements of the
individual and fit for purpose.
The first forged sword took two weeks to make and was destroyed in under
one minute. The underestimation of the stresses swords are subjected to
in use, was the challenge that became Heron Armoury. Over the last 20
years Heron Armoury has combined the strength required to withstand
repeated use with something hopefully pleasing to the eye. |

Every part is manufactured and every process undertaken at the workshop
from the shaping and heat treatment of the blades to the forging of the
fittings and final construction and polishing.
This all makes it easier to check every care is taken to ensure the
product is up to the purpose it was designed for. |

Being a re-enactor myself, I understand the stresses and wear that arms
and armour have to take.
Heron Armoury weapons are made to the highest standard and meet the
safety requirements of most re-enactment groups. |

If your group has specific rules please
talk to Heron Armoury about them and make sure your weapon will be
within code. |
