BKS has evolved considerably over the past few years as brothers Matt and Kerry Stagmer strive together to create fantastic objects in metals. While the primary focus is on stage combat swords and related items, our highly diverse interests often send us spinning in different directions leaving a trail of wonderful creations and forms in metal.

While Matt breathes new interest and forms into the swords, Kerry trains with master craftsmen in metal forming, jewelry and engraving, bringing new techniques and ideas back to share. Together they push each others skill sets on a daily basis.

Baltimore Knife and Sword has been the #1 name in stage combat weaponry for several decades. Because of the huge demand for our stage combat pieces we often are limited on time for custom work. BKS takes a limited number of custom orders each year. Often they make a handful of one offs for general stock at their dealers around the country.

With the addition of some new tools BKS has now added pattern welding and crucible steel products to the growing line of available swords. At least once a year they smelt steel from ore to create our own blend of steel for high end customs.

Kerry and Matt have always tried to share knowledge with the community and with the addition of their annual hammer-in event they now have an outlet to reach further then ever. Once a year they gather the best talents and innovative thinkers at their shop to share secrets and methods with all that attend. After the event the knowledge sharing continues on many forums and ends up reaching many more then just the attendees.
