About Us
Welcome to Nelson ZS Blades, where the art of crafting blades meets a legacy that spans across three continents. Established in 2018 in the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida, our journey is deeply rooted in a rich tapestry of familial traditions from the USA, France, and Pakistan. Our skilled team of leather crafters brings together a diverse heritage, forging blades that encapsulate the spirits of generations past - craftsmen who once forged for knights, kings, governments, and Hollywood.
As we step into the realm of social media and launch our website, Nelson ZS Blades marks its presence as a fresh face in the industry. Despite having been a local establishment for over seven years, we acknowledge the path ahead is one of earning trust and appreciation from collectors and art enthusiasts alike. While our shelves may not yet boast awards or special recognition, our commitment to delivering unparalleled craftsmanship and unique designs sets us on a trajectory towards becoming a celebrated name in the world of blade artistry.
At the helm of Nelson ZS Blades is David Nelson, a former NWA Wrestler and seasoned businessman born in West Virginia in 1964. David's journey with steel and the art of blades began in 2017, culminating in the launch of our business in 2018. His exceptional ability to design blades with both unique beauty and precise replication of TV prop weapons has set our creations apart. Collaborating with former copyright team members from iconic series like Xena, Hercules, Masters of the Universe, and more, David ensures that each blade achieves a level of perfection reminiscent of your favorite shows. Supported by Ali and his father, two renowned figures in the art of the forge, the Nelson ZS Blades team is dedicated to bringing exceptional craftsmanship to Orlando and beyond.
