Dreamed up by my friend Jason Woodard, former “Factory X” sword designer, this fantasy sword, dubbed “The Guardian” is one of my favorite Darksword creations to date.

“Woodard” was originally derived from the Old English words "wode", meaning wood, and ward, meaning "Guardian". A name given to a forester, a guard, or a protector. An historical usage of the name goes back to the Battle of Hastings, where one Commander "Woodard", was granted lands by King William for his assistance during the battle. The name of "protector" inspired Jason to create this imposing fantasy piece.
