About Us
As enthusiasts, we have been studying, holding, and using a wide range of field gear for many years. However, just two years ago, we decided to open Battle Wares as a digital-only publication with a simple concept: to provide enthusiasts with straightforward information about equipment used in the field, from historical to cutting-edge. So, we began by exploring their history, applications, and evolution. And, sharing our opinion on unclear things. During this time, we also discovered that the quality of modern equipment related to what we love is actually low. And yes, we know exactly the reason why. This led us to take on an additional responsibility. To recommend the best field stuff.
So, our mission became to share their history (while clarifying misconceptions along the way) and to recommend to you the best gear available. We are a small team, and of course, writing about all of this requires time. Still, we work every day. Our current focus is on one of the most iconic tools used in the field, swords. Here, we talk more about modern-made swords, including tactical swords, battle-ready swords, fantasy replicas, as well as sword comparisons, samurai and European swords, and more. If you are a sword enthusiast, a collector, or a martial artist, this place is for you.
About Our Review Process
Our reviews are based on in-depth research, user feedback, and analysis of customer experiences, including insights from collectors and users—except when we specifically mention that we have tested the swords ourselves. Gathering different opinions is especially important for functional swords because they are often handmade.
Slight variations in the forging or production process can affect their quality, balance, and durability. That’s why we carefully select and highlight the best swords based on the experiences of many users, not just one, to ensure the product meets high standards and doesn’t fall short.
Join Our Mission to Champion Field Gear
We’re always looking to connect with people who live and breathe their passion. Are you a sword enthusiast, a collector, practitioner, or someone who actively uses these types of equipment? Perhaps through martial arts, fencing, archery sports, hunting, sport shooting, historical reenactment, or related activities?
If you have these kinds of insights (or hands-on experience) but aren’t currently publishing them, you might be missing a significant opportunity to share what you know with a dedicated audience. We believe practical expertise deserves a platform, and Battle Wares can help you become a publisher.
