About Edged Militaria

The monthly militaria show in Waver, Belgium.

Welcome to Edged Militaria!

I’m Louis Leemans, the proud owner and curator of this enterprise. At 24 years old, I bring youthful enthusiasm and a deep passion for these historical treasures. Following in the footsteps of my father, Philippe Leemans, a collector for over 45 years, my journey into the world of edged weapons began at an early age.

Specializing primarily in German WWII edged weapons, I’ve scoured Europe to bring you the finest pieces that encapsulate both historical significance and exquisite craftsmanship. My journey in this field has taken me to numerous European shows, as well as prestigious events like the SOS and Max show in the US.

Edged Militaria is more than just a business to me. it’s a dedication to preserving history and sharing these remarkable artifacts with collectors and enthusiasts. Explore the collection and join me on this fascinating journey through the world of edged weapons.

Why "Edged Militaria"?

Edged Militaria, my company name, draws its inspiration from my core focus on antique edged weapons. ‘Edged’ reflects the precision, history, and artistry of these weapons, while also symbolizing our sharp business acumen. ‘Militaria’ pays tribute to the historical context in which these weapons were used. In essence, Edged Militaria signifies my passion for these artifacts and the dedication to excellence in both the world of edged weapons and entrepreneurship.
