Description of Scorpion Swords & Knives:
We are all about making the best battle ready swords and knives in the world! Scorpion
Swords & Knives, is an American based company out of Springfield, Missouri. Owned and operated by Chris Palmer. You may recognize
him from the History Channel’s reality show, “Top Shot”, casted as the Archery Expert in Season 1, 3, & 5. Chris began his business
building & selling Self Archery Bows & Spears. During that time he made a series of bow making tutorials on YouTube, which
have reached MILLIONS of views.
Chris later expanded his business, and began making knives and eventually swords. This is his passion!
His blade customer base has grown so large that he can no longer accept bow orders.
Staff: He’s also had to train in several bladesmiths
to keep up with the growing amount of orders.

Our
Steel:
We use 1095 High Carbon Annealed Steel, 3/16” thick. This steel holds a much keener edge than other steels. Annealing is a
heat process whereby the steel is heated to a specific temperature /color and then allowed to cool slowly. This softens the metal
which means it can be cut and shaped more easily.
Our Heat Treatment Process & Handle Work:
The type of steel we use, combined
with our heat treatment process, is what makes our weapons EXTREMELY DURABLE! We Heat Harden our steel, which involves heating the
steel to approximately 1500 degrees, until it becomes non magnetic then quenching it in oil. The 2nd step is Heat Tempering, which
consists of heating the steel to 500 degrees for 2 hours, and letting it air cool. This makes for a Rockwell Hardness of approximately
59. All scales are attached with either exposed or hidden pins and attached with gorilla glue.
Videos Of Our Weapon’s Demonstrations:
We have released numerous videos demonstrating how strong and battle ready our weapons are on Youtube, that have also reached over MILLIONS
OF VIEWS. Here is a link to our youtube page where they can be accessed:
