Description 2 sets of dominion swords for season 1. 

Yes, I said that I wouldn't take commissions for rest of the year and after that journal, but these swords were under "negotiations" before I made that journal entry.

Just happened that both commissions were on same sword set. So while I was cutting aluminium, I might double the amount. Like always, I tried to make things little bit differently and while I was happy with some details, there were more things what I could think again for future sets if there is any.

Yes, I could make Season 2 sword set some day.. Different colored blade and hilt is looking different. Not much, but still enough that I need to make new plans for those.

Amazing work I possibly might be interesting by these (season 1 or 2, I'll have to decide) in the future. So just to know, how much do you sell a pair? Usually, how much is the shipping to France (to have a general idea)? Do you accept bank transfer? (I absolutely don't trust paypal at all, they have huge management problems and can technically do whatever they want with your account... Experience...). Are they fragile? (I don't know what aluminium feels like... I have several katanas from some animes characters, is it the same metal?). Thank you ^^ It is so great you're making these !

And finally, just for my culture, is it long to do them? I find what your doing fascinating

In the picture is season 1 version of Archangel Michael's swords, I haven't made any season 2 set yet. Currently I have asked 80 euros per set + postages. Postages are currently 26.30 €.

While I also have my concerns against Paypal, I usually use them, until finding another one that I could trust a bit more. Paypal is fastest in both ways, but I'll see if regular bank transfer could be possible. That takes usually 3-5 (experience) days to go through.

Aluminium that I use isn't fragile, it bend, it get dented, but it's not fragile. It's nice and light.  Usually to make this kind of sword set, it's around a month what is needed to make them. That is, if dayjob isn't draining me completely empty. I usually make all the parts what I need for these per project, so no factory made parts. All is handmade parts for every project.

Thank you for noticing my work and if you have other questions, I'll try to answer to them.

Whoah ! Thank you for all your answers I think it really is impressive. I did not know for aluminium All the blades I have are usually steel I think (especially knives).

How did you learn? I thought first you did that for a living Did you do special studies or just learnt "like that"?

What are exactly the differences between season 1 and season 2 versions? I noticed the handles are different, but is there anything else? (I'm watching them again and again to check but I can't really see anything else). If you plan on making season 2 swords, let me know. I am definitely interested It is not urgent thought (I am very patient).


Thing is, I had troubles with paypal so I can't use their websites anymore (they don't accept e-cards, and there's no way in hell I'll give them my bank records after all the troubles I got...). So yeah, if I could make a transfer, it would be better.

I have choosen aluminium to be my main material, cause swords that I make are just decorative pieces (not battle ready) and blades have always dull edges for safety reasons.

I have always been interested about swords, made different swords from different material over the years and it have been more "trial and error" type of testing. No courses or schools for making these.

Main details in season 2 swords are, that handle is different and blade looks to be blue in color, while season 1 swords were clear. I could be wrong as there is so little good pictures about these swords in the net currently. I have some plans for s2 swords and need to test few things before, I can say does those plans works.

That's impressive

There is a clear picture of season 2 swords when Mickael drop it to hit Gabriel. Before they both go to New Delphi (episode 4 I think). I do prefer the handles of season 2. Let me know when you start to do some for sales, I'm definitely interested

And again, great job ! Hope you'll continue (SAO Swords are really awsome !)
