Over a period, Windlass Steelcrafts has invested heavily in research and development as well as modernizing its operations so that its products are authentic, high-quality masterpieces.

Atlanta Cutlery Corp. started in 1971 as a mail order catalog company selling hunting and other hard-to-find knives and knife making supplies from all over the world. Our well-educated and highly trained staff directs the company. The full-time, in-house staff includes experts on historical weapons, a research and design team, as well as Creative Director Dave DiPietro (formerly with Paramount Studios) and Robin Chaudhuri (formerly with Michigan State University Historical Museum in Arms & Armour). Our part-time consultants include Simon Atherton, prop master (Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, Mask of Zorro, Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator), Joss Skottowe, prop armorer (Die Another Day, Sahara, Quantum of Solace) and Augusto Grassi, prop master (Rome). And we would like to give proper thanks to our founder Hank Reinhardt, a nationally acclaimed expert on edged weapons, who passed away recently and will be dearly missed. We wouldn’t be what we are today without him.

Atlanta Cutlery understands the hunger for historically accurate and battle-worthy weapons, a demand that is fueled by the growing interest in medieval history and collectibles. We have traveled far and wide armed with the wealth of information gathered from various museums and private collections around the world, to scout for sword smiths and manufacturers to give you quality weapons at affordable prices. Our continued association since our inception with Windlass Steelcrafts in 1995 has made us traverse the long road to where we can proudly proclaim our leadership in this arena.

Today, along with our sister company Museum Replicas Ltd., we offer an extensive line of products which covers high-quality period clothing, jewelry, sculptures, and well-researched and battle-worthy edged weapons that you would have been proud to carry in any battle if you could go back in time.
