The Swordmaker

Every sword on this site was made by one man.

Tom Ledder builds them one at a time — sourcing the crystals, gathering and holding the waters, setting the meteorite, binding the matrix, fitting the blade. He has been doing it long enough that the work has its own way of proceeding, and he teaches it, in person, around the world.

The teaching

The swords were never meant to sit on shelves. Tom runs trainings wherever there are practitioners who want to learn to work with them — which is how the October training in Mullumbimby came about, and how these swords came to Australia in the first place.

In his own words

Meeting him

Tom is in Australia for two days at the end of October, at the Yellow Church in Mullumbimby. If you have a sword, or you’re thinking about one, that’s the room to be in.
