Hand-Forged Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Inspired Sword — Fullered 5160 Blade, Heritage Collector's Piece
This is a hand-forged historical sword inspired by the era of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) — a heritage collector's and display piece forged in Nepal from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, full tang, with a polished finish and twin dark fullers running down the blade. It pairs a straight cross guard, a rosewood handle, and polished metal fittings with a fitted leather sheath. Every sword is made to order in your chosen length, finish, and engraving.
The standard blade is 26 inches on a 7-inch handle, for an overall length around 33 inches and a 2-inch blade. It is forged and finished entirely by hand as a respectful, considered tribute honouring an early Islamic heritage, made to be displayed and kept.
A note on heritage. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was the closest companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the first Caliph, one of the most revered figures in Islamic history. Everest Forge offers this piece with respect for that legacy — a hand-forged collector's and display sword inspired by the heritage of that era, crafted carefully by our smiths in Kathmandu. It is an artisan tribute, not a claim to any specific historical relic.

It is offered as a respectful hand-forged collector's and display piece, an artisan tribute rather than a reproduction of a specific historical relic.
Who was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq?
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was the closest companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the first Caliph, one of the most revered figures in Islamic history. This sword is made as a respectful tribute inspired by the heritage of his era.
Is this made respectfully?
Yes. We understand this sword touches on figures and history of deep significance in Islam. We make it as a respectful, hand-forged collector's and display piece honouring that heritage, finished carefully by our smiths. If you would like specific calligraphy or detailing, our Custom Forge service can accommodate it.
What steel and construction is it?
The blade is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, the same alloy used in heavy-duty truck leaf springs, and it is full tang, so the blade runs the full length of the handle. It is finished with a polished blade, twin dark fullers, and polished metal fittings.
What is the fuller on the blade?
A fuller is the groove ground into the blade. On this sword there are twin dark fullers running down the length, which lighten the blade and give it its distinctive polished-and-dark look. They are ground by hand as part of the finishing.
Can I change the blade length?
Yes. The standard blade is 26 inches, and you can order it shorter or longer to your spec. You can also choose the finish, the handle, and add engraving. Every sword is forged to the spec you select, so the size is yours to set.
What are the handle and fittings?
The handle is rosewood, fitted to a straight cross guard and a pommel in polished metal, over a full tang. You can request another wood on request, and each handle is fitted by hand.
Does it come with a sheath?
Yes. Every sword ships with a fitted leather sheath with a decorated metal chape to protect the blade for storage and display. It is made by hand to fit the blade size you order.
Can I add engraving or calligraphy?
Yes. You can add a name, initials, or a short message, and you can upload your own design or calligraphy for custom engraving through our Custom Forge service. Personalized blades are made to order, so please confirm the details before you buy.
Is it a display piece or a working blade?
We offer it as a hand-forged heritage collector's and display piece. It is forged from 5160 steel with a full tang, so it is soundly built, and it is finished polished and made to be displayed and kept rather than put to hard use.
Do you ship worldwide, and how long does it take?
Yes. We ship worldwide from Nepal by DHL or FedEx in 7 to 14 business days with tracking. In-stock specs dispatch within 2 to 3 business days; fully custom builds take roughly 4 to 6 weeks to forge first. Import and blade laws vary by country, so please check your local rules before ordering.
