How Real Swords Are Made For TV And Movies | Movies Insider

There's a blacksmith in Hollywood who specializes in making swords, knives, and armor for films and TV shows. When rubber or plastic just won't do, productions have real custom swords made for the actors to swing at each other. For over 30 years, Tony Swatton has been forging iconic arms, armor, and props for over 200 feature films, TV shows, and commercials. Some of his work includes swords for "Blade," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Mask of Zorro," and "Hook." Insider's Joe Avella dropped by Sword and the Stone in Burbank, California, where Swatton and his team forge and build swords and other weapons all day long.
