Sabersmith Beginning

Sabersmith Inc has grown dramatically from it’s simple beginnings as the founder’s hobby.  Tim Lawler had a fascination with ninjas and weaponry, ever since becoming a Bruce Lee fan in his younger days. This interest lead him to study martial arts and into amateur weapons crafting. After many years of pursuing other careers, Tim made the leap into full time blade creation. He started Sabersmith Inc. in 1999, and the company grew in size over the years from a one man operation up to its current team of 20. We’ve changed locations multiple times over the years as we’ve grown, and in 2016 moved into our current location in Sunfield, MI. We hope for this to be our home for many years to come. Our 15,000 square foot headquarters is up and running, producing some of the finest blades our collectors have ever seen.

Our Present

In our shop, historic techniques are used side by side with modern tools and knowledge. A historic blacksmith would have used the best materials and techniques available to him, and we do the same. With engineered high carbon steel, combined with precision heat treating, we create functional yet artistic weaponry. Most of our pieces are based on traditional weapon designs, but all have our own style and twist in their creation.

There are many ways for you to come see our work in person as well as shopping here on our website. Annually, we attend 8 of the major Renaissance Festivals around the United States. You are also welcome to stop by our headquarters, and check out our inventory. We hope to see you soon, to have a chance to tempt you with a beautiful new blade. In the meantime please find something you’d like right here on Sabersmith.com, and we’ll build your brand new sword and have it delivered right to your doorstep.
