Eric Estlund is a custom bike maker turned swordsmith. He focuses on crafting high-end swords (and knives), basing his work on extant examples of antique swords while ensuring he also imbues his work with his own creative vision.

With an educational background in art and an interest in fencing, that comes as no surprise.

In today's episode of The Armoury Roundtable, Eric talks about his philosophy in swordmaking, how he approaches research, the challenges of adapting objects of the past to the modern world, and much more, with host Gabriele Culot.
