Are there sword shops in Minneapolis, MN?

QUESTION: I would like to buy a sword that I can see and hold first. Are there any sword shops in the Minneapolis area?

ANSWER: Hi Steve,

Unfortunately, I am not too sure about the location of any bricks and mortar stores there. However I will leave this question open so that if any other visitors stumble upon it and know the answer, they can inform you accordingly.

Sorry I couldn't be of more direct help.

To add on to what you just said, if you're looking for anime swords and things based off movies or shows, there are a lot there as well. I'm going soon to get Ichigo Kurosaki's Tensa Zangetsu from Bleach. Check it out! It's an anime lover's dream shop of weapons! There's even a gunblade!

Ren. Fest.

If you're willing to put up with the drive, and any preconceived notion of what to expect, the Ren Fest is where I've gotten a few in the past. My favorite is Angel Sword hands down. There's more than just that, too. Anything from $200~$10,000. If you can't wait, or just hate the Ren Fest, you should try Arms and Armor. Great customer service and amazing swords. If you're willing to shell out a bit more cash than normal, you could have something custom made by them. Can't praise them enough for their quality and commitment to realism.

Arms & Armour Minneapolis
by: Anonymous

I just visited Arms & Armour swords in Minneapolis.
They are on the corner of Stinson Blvd and Broadway in the middle of a long brick bldg. You can park on Stinson. Continental Clay is on the north end of the bldg.
These guys forge/make/finish their own swords and weapons from quality steel and their prices are very reasonable! Plus, there is no junk steel.
I spoke with Craig Johnson who has been in the steel blade business for 30 years. Very knowledgeable guy.
Arms & Armor, Inc.
