 Welcome to
Winterborn Blades

My name is Steve Karakostas and I am a Bladesmith.

I hand craft one of a kind fully functional custom swords, knives, and other types of custom unique blades. Each piece is meticulously made with high quality material. They are well balanced and most importantly, durable. Everything is hand crafted at my shop in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 

Here you will find galleries of my past work and also new pieces in my online shop when they become available.

If you would like to inquire about a project you may have in mind, please fill out the form in the contact section.

My Name is
Steve Karakostas

I’m a Bladesmith based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I’m obsessed with a love for the sword.

It can be a symbol of hope and honor. The Smith breathes life into it, but the wielder gives it purpose.

Each custom hand crafted project follows an
intricate, detailed, step-by-step process.

I start with the story of the blade.
