Here's something I've just finished:



Comes in at about £80 depending on detail required.

Each knife (they're really more like short swords, but I like calling them fighting knives.....the one pictured is 20 ish inches in a straight line pommel to tip, probably be a touch longer, when in production, more like 22 inches) is £40 with scabbards at £15.

So the total for a matching pair/set will be £110......postage is included (mainland UK only).

Yet again they will be a limited run until I move onto something else.

I can sell them as singles if need be.

email shelford dot studios at gmail dot com.





Email me to get on the first dibs list or to arrange coughing up dosh.

I've reduced the price on the pieces below, UK mainland postage included in the price.

Hi folks. Well this year should see alot more coming from me. I'm taking some time off my day job shortly....getting stuff finished up. So if your waiting for an order, most stuff is just about done and will be with you soon.

Instead of taking money up front I'm intending to make stock then sell it. I hate having stuff hanging over my head, so this'll be the best way to do stuff in future. Having said that if you want something unusual and I have time I can still do bespoke stuff, but it will be a money upfront thing.

So I've got just a couple of items to flog (see below) more coming soon.

As alwayd the email is shelford dot studios at gmail dot com.

I can take just a few more orders folks before I stop taking orders for a bit to get things cleared through and hopefully to make myself some stuff!

So if your interested in anything and were/are thinking of ordering then now would be the time to hassle me.

email shelford dot studios at gmail dot com

A couple of shots of things I'm working on. Plus you can see the sort of creative mess I work in.


Plus I'm off camping with my family next week.....for a week......wish me luck and if you try and contact me during that time obviously wont reply.

More and larger Pics here:

About 15'' long.

The antler knives are £30 each and £15 for each scabbard.
Oh and I don't bother with post and packing, I'll either drop them off at an event or bung them in the post (which don't cost much).

Each will be a bit differant so if you order a pair they may not be exactly the same.

Scabbards can be rigged hanging horizontal or vertical. (please specify when you order)

I'm restricting orders so email me at matt dot sofar at gmail dot com and I'll arrange a Paypal invoice.

As always if you do order please keep in mind that I work full time during the week and cannot give a firm completion date.....plus do not keep emailing me to see if your order is ready.....it'll be done when it's done.

Hi all....just a quick update. Finishing off some old orders. Nearly done.
Clearing up my workshop....it's a mess.

I've taken off the Buy Now buttons so I can control orders.

I've taken off post and packing on my prices and combined them, because if I'm delivering then it's simpler and no one asking for it back! Delivering is more hassle to be honest, trying to find folks, but seeing the look of glee on folks faces as they get stuff is payment enough. If I'm posting then that's all part of the price. If your abroad or non mainland UK we can work something out.

I'm severley limiting orders so I can get a few fun bespoke orders done and those old orders, plus I want to get a few things I've been thinking of done, so watch this space.

Just to remind folks I'm not a full time professional LRP weapon maker. I work full-time and two wee boys on the go. So things do take time to make. I'm not good with deadlines and never make any promise on delivery time. However it's not six months!

Anyways if you want to chat about ideas or stuff email me    matt dot sofar at gmail dot com

A couple of knives made for an old friend doing lasertag with a Dune theme. No orders on these I'm afraid but it shows the kind of bone effect I can do, if anyone wants anything bespoke.
