Over the next few weeks leading up to Christmas we will be attending an assortment of smaller holiday craft fairs and shows , With small shows we try to prioritize showcasing our local hand made product such as chainmail jewelry

Check out this epic new kriegsmesser from @coldsteelknives that arrived late last week, one of a few new designs in just in time for the holidays !

The Cinquedea was a blade worn exclusively for civilian self-defense, it was essentially the precursor to the civilian side sword and the rapier – and yet, this instrument of personal protection seems to have owed much of its design to fashion as it did to cut and thrust

Looking for unique holiday gift ideas that are not only made in Canada but crafted BY HAND ? DAC has plenty of options for you And not just for medieval enthusiasts , we offer plenty of leather products and jewelry options that will become a favourite daily wear

Our handmade chainmail jewelry has been incredibly popular this holiday season , here’s just a few of the necklaces , chokers and bracelet we finished up today !

Our Scottish Single-hand Sword is patterned after 15th century models originating in the west highlands and the western isles. The peened wheel pommel, lobed quillons and short langet are typical of surviving pieces. The hilt has a leather wrapped grip with a wood core

We are wishing everyone out there a Happy #RobbieBurns Day , one of our favourite holidays where we celebrate everything #Scottish ! How will you be celebrating #BurnsNight ? #Kilts ? #Bagpipes ? Will you be having #Haggis for supper ? Perhaps a #whisky ? Let us know …

Excited to show off our new leather journals , we will be debuting them at FAN EXPO Vancouver , After our last style was sadly discounted by its maker we found this new style which we think is even nicer material. It also comes in 12 colours

Mainstay of the Highland warriors during the late 15th and 16th centuries,  the #Claymore sword had a uniquely styled hilt,  which set it apart from other great swords of the period.  Typical of longsword length,  this versatile weapon could deliver great slashes or thrusts !

The celebrated Cawood Sword, named after its discovery location near Cawood Castle in England is regarded as one of the finest and best-preserved examples of an 11th century #Viking #sword Come see this sword any many others next weekend at Fan Expo Vancouver FAN EXPO Vancouver

One of our favorite tools is our laser table. What is great about this is it allows us to add details to any leather or wood project at a fraction of the cost of doing it hand, Here we have a sheath for the 12 inch seax we posted the other day ! Available at FAN EXPO Vancouver
