About Archangel Steel

All Archangel Steel battle-ready, functional art weaponry is designed and handcrafted by us, from high-carbon steel, here in Detroit, Michigan. We heat treat to between 53 and 55 Rockwell and go through the salt bath hardening process.

Salt bath hardening is a hardening technique that ensures the steel is highly wear resistant. Salt Bath Hardening offers advantages over alternative hardening and tempering methods. Molten salt is often considered the ‘ideal’ heat treating medium. When parts are immersed in the molten salt, heat is transferred by direct contact to the surface. This step is followed by quenching the steel in a hot bath at approximately 550°C.

This is why we can confidently give a lifetime warranty to each and every steel & leather, functional, battle-ready work of art we sell.

Archangel Steel has been dreaming up mythical and magical weapons for nearly 35 years.  Using high quality steel and other products made in the USA, we turn these figments of our imagination into a reality.  If you have any questions, we are very attentive to our messaging and easily accessible on our social media accounts, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc, as well as the “Contact” form on this site.

We've had a shop at the Renaissance Festival in Holly, Michigan for well over 26 years. Our very large shop is located just past the northwest corner of the joust field, by the Tree Top Stage. We are now also at the Michigan Nordic Fire Festival and the Motor City Comic Con (May show). Feel free to visit us there and see the quality and craftsmanship of our work first-hand.  Behind every Archangel Steel work of battle-ready, functional steel art, there is a great story to share!
