Born from the rugged spirit of the Scottish Highlands, the dagger has long been a symbol of personal valor and an emblem of a proud lineage. In the spirit of that enduring legacy, this piece is a modern masterwork—a design inspired by the blades of ancient clansmen, meticulously handcrafted in the heart of Nepal. It is a tribute to the fierce loyalty and storied history that defined a people, re-imagined through the lens of contemporary craftsmanship.
This exceptional piece is a beautiful fusion of heritage and artistry. The hand-forged blade is double-edged, its symmetrical form tapering to a formidable point, perfectly balanced for both thrust and cut. Its surface is finished with a pristine satin polish, allowing the clean lines of the blade to stand in stark contrast to the surrounding wilderness. The hilt is a composition of exquisite materials, featuring a handle of polished, dark hardwood deeply carved with a traditional twisted pattern, offering both a secure grip and a tactile connection to the past. The pommel and bolster are cast from a refined metal alloy, meticulously engraved with a Celtic knotwork design. This timeless motif speaks to the intricate and intertwined history of the Highland clans.

Make It Truly Yours – The Art of Blade Customization
Crafted with Purpose. Rooted in Culture. Designed for Legacy.
Every blade tells a story. Some are forged for strength, others for tradition, and some are crafted to reflect the personality of their owner. At FWOSI, we believe your blade should be more than just a tool, it should be an extension of who you are. That’s where customization comes in.
What is Blade Customization?
Blade customization is the process of tailoring a knife or sword to match your exact needs, preferences, and style. From the handle material to the length, from a personal engraving to a sheath color that stands out — each detail adds character and meaning.
Why Customize Your Blade?
- A customized blade reflects your individuality, making it unique and truly one of a kind.
- Choosing the right handle, length, or edge design can optimize comfort, balance, and performance.
- Many of our designs are rooted in centuries-old traditions — customizing lets you carry history while adding your personal touch.
- A customized blade becomes more than a purchase — it becomes a keepsake, a gift, or even an heirloom.
How Can You Customize?
1. With FWOSI, customization is simple but powerful:
2. Choose from classic bone/horn or strong, earthy wood for a $100 upgrade.
3. Add up to 10 characters etched into the steel — initials, a name, or a word that inspires you ($10 per letter).
4. Adjust the size to your exact preference — $50 per added inch.
5. Select a sheath that suits your style, choosing from black (standard) or upgrading to brown, red, or a custom color.
The Benefits of Customizing with FWOSI
– balanced, efficient, and tailored to how you use it.
– materials chosen for strength and long life.
– While customization adds upfront cost, it pays off in longevity and uniqueness.
– your blade becomes part of your journey.

Care Instructions
✔ DO:
- Wipe the blade after handling to remove moisture or fingerprints.
- Apply light oil every 2–4 weeks to prevent rust or corrosion.
- Store in a dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight.
✘ DON’T:
- Don’t soak or wash the blade with water.
- Don’t store the blade in the sheath if it's damp or just oiled.
- Don’t use the blade for tasks beyond its intended use. (e.g., chopping hard surfaces)
Steel Selection
Every FWOSI sword begins with rugged 1095 leaf spring steel, salvaged from vehicle suspension systems known for their toughness and flexibility. The steel is cut, cleaned, and shaped to match the dramatic form of each blade, whether fantasy-inspired or historically rooted.
Forging the Form
Heated in a traditional charcoal forge until it glows orange, the steel is hand-hammered into shape by our master blacksmiths. From wide raider blades to elegant ceremonial swords, this step brings character and dimension to the blade, with power in every strike.
Edge Craft & Balance
The sword’s edge bevels and fuller grooves (where applicable) are chiseled and refined without machines, by sight and hand alone. This preserves the soul of the blade while achieving balance and cutting geometry, even for oversized fantasy replicas.
Surface Preparation & Cleaning
Layers of forge scale and rust are removed using hand files and polishing stones. This brings out the raw steel grain and prepares the blade for heat treatment, ensuring it’s both strong and beautiful.
Heat Treatment
The blade is hardened through a carefully controlled quenching and tempering process. This delivers the ideal mix of edge strength and spine flexibility, even for swords that are primarily display pieces. Durability is never compromised.
Grinding & Sharpening
The surface is finely ground and sharpened to the desired level, from blunt display edges to finely honed cutting blades. Each edge is hand-checked for alignment and finish, ensuring visual impact and strength.
Handle Construction
Premium hardwood or buffalo horn is shaped into halves, drilled to fit the full tang, and riveted in place. Reinforced with brass or steel rings, the grip is tested for feel, weight distribution, and ergonomic flow, essential for real handling or cosplay realism.
Fittings & Finishing Touches
A steel or brass guard, bolster, or butt cap is added (depending on design), giving the sword balance and aesthetic finish. Details matter, and we never skip them.
Sheath Making
Each sword comes with a matching sheath crafted from carved wood and wrapped in buffalo leather or fitted composite. Hand-stitched and shaped to the blade’s form, it protects the blade and adds to the collector’s experience.
Final Polish & Packaging
After a thorough inspection, the blade is sent from Nepal to your doorstep.
100% Hand-Forged
Each FWOSI sword is handcrafted by skilled Nepalese blacksmiths using traditional forging methods. Every blade is shaped, treated, and finished entirely by hand, not mass-produced. Our craftsmen inspect each piece in multiple stages to ensure strength, symmetry, and a flawless finish worthy of display or cosplay.

The Spirit Behind Every FWOSI Sword
Crafted with Purpose. Rooted in Culture. Designed for Legacy.
At FWOSI, a sword is never just a blade. It’s a vessel of story, tradition, and human skill. Whether inspired by ancient warriors, cultural rituals, or fantasy legends, every sword we craft is built with meaning, forged by the hands of Nepalese artisans who have inherited centuries of blade-making wisdom.
For generations, the blacksmiths of Nepal, known as Kamis, have shaped metal not only into weapons but into tools of identity, honor, and ceremony. At FWOSI, we bring that same passion into swords meant for collectors, adventurers, martial artists, and fans of epic tales.
Each sword bridges worlds:
- Between the past and the present
- Between fantasy and reality
- Between art and functionality
Whether it's a replica of a legendary anime sword, a ceremonial display piece, or a practical tool for rituals and reenactments, the essence remains the same: it must carry story, soul, and strength.
We don’t just make swords, we preserve legacy. One hammer strike at a time.
“To own a FWOSI sword is to hold more than steel. It’s to hold a narrative, forged in fire, carried through generations, and now passed to your hands.”
