En garde!
This Historical Weapons library features all the clashes, rings, snicks, taps, whooshes and scrapes you need for your next battle-based project! Our Audio Craftsmen recorded two professional swordsmen engaging in duels with an array of authentic swords, including an 18th century court/small sword, Victorian infantry sabre, High Medieval long sword, Renaissance rapier and more!
This useful collection also includes recordings of medieval weaponry (battle axe, hand axe, warhammer) hitting and scraping the the edge, front and boss of Medieval wooden shields. The same weapons were further utilised in flesh impact sounds (where their contact made with a juicy watermelon is captured).
Our multi-mic configuration (comprising the Sennheiser MKH50, Røde NTG-3 and Line Audio CM4 Stereo Pair) provide additional perspectives to the sounds and offer a multitude of layering options. Perfect for film, TV, game or documentary projects requiring action and historical accuracy!

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
