a design studio founded by Joseph Shnayder and J.D. Smith.
Having met through mutual friends in 2008, J.D. and Joseph quickly discovered their mutual love for fine edged weapon art. It was a stroke of good fortune that they both possessed craft skills and high level artistic training that enabled them to collectively create truly unusual and high quality works in metals, gem stones and exotic woods. These highly stylized and intricate works are produced from the combined experience of both men, totaling over 60 years. The finest quality materials and artistic motifs are brought to bear to realize the unique visions of AmeRRuss Blade Arts. The fantastic is at once made one with the practical in all of their unique works. Everything produced is a real and true cold weapon, possessing both exotic rarity as well as an exquisite beauty born of cold lethality. To hold one in the hand is to know a feeling of awesome power! Finely wrought Damascus steel in beautiful and intricate patterns, are set off with skilled carving, gem setting and exotic art motifs; all of which are blended into complete works that inspire and amaze.
All works are currently available and special projects will be entertained upon request.
