Gaël Fabre is the blacksmith who created the ceremonial sword, the real sharpened sword, that Gallois de Fougières will wear. He is a blacksmith who makes his own weapons himself with the old methods. In this collaboration with the Gallois de Fougières project, he created a weapon of exceptional quality. As well as creating the sword, he was able to share a photo gallery with the Gallois de Fougières project, of which we show a sample here, showing Gaël Fabre's skills by watching the sword's creation from the beginning to the end.

In order to create such a weapon, he worked together with the medieval jeweller Hervé Lacassagne who did the decoration of the pommel :

The shield in the pommel is done in enamel, done in a bronze disc set in the pommel. Naturally, the arms shown here are those of Gallois de Fougières and the three letters engraved in the bronze around it are N S N, the initials of the three words from the provost marshal's motto, "Non Sine Numine" ("Not Without Permission"), seen on the bronze shield beneath which Gallois de Fougières is buried.
