More a short sword than a true dagger, the Anduril Dagger is a companion piece to our version of the most famous sword from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The 21 inch blade is marked with elvish runes exactly the same as the full size Anduril sword, though as the runes are smaller and on a smaller steel canvas they appear even more intricate. The double-edged single fullered blade leads to miniature versions of the Anduril fittings developed by Darksword Armory, including the White Tree of Gondor on the tips of the pommel and guard. The beautifully detailed leather handle completes the piece and sets it apart as a true weapon in its own right. Whether alone or paired with its larger version, the Anduril Dagger is a formidable weapon and exquisite work of art by the talented hands that work our forge.

Blade: 5160 High Carbon Steel. Dual Hardened.
Total length: 29.5"
Blade length: 21"
Weight: 1 lbs. 14 oz.

Inspired by Glamdring, the sword of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings films, The Sage Dagger is a companion weapon to one of the more famous fantasy swords in recent times. This leaf bladed dagger is a light and powerful piece that is more than just a smaller version of a larger sword – it is a true weapon in its own right, with 12 in of blade and 1 lb 5 oz of weight behind it. Despite being a fantasy dagger, the Sage has been designed and crafted for actual use and combat. The dagger handles beautifully. It is a very responsive sword that feels “alive” , light yet powerful. The relatively wide leaf shaped blade feels like it can deliver damaging blows to anything in it's path, while keeping a look of grace. The Sage dagger's characteristics make it a fantasy weapon of choice for collectors and will certainly be a centerpiece and a conversation piece at the center of any collection.

The Squire dagger, companion to the Squire Sword,  is designed with those apprentice knights in mind. A mid-length, double-edged blade crafted from tempered 5160 spring steel provides a durable and resilient striking edge. The blade has a 3/4 length fuller. The simple, curved guard sets this dagger apart from the standard cruciform hilt sword, and the wheel pommel is a classic design. What sets this dagger apart, is its handling. Weighing 1 lbs, the Squire is a startlingly fast and responsive dagger. In the hands of a growing apprentice knight, the Squire would be a suitable training or combat weapon; in your hands, it would be a lively dagger that begs to be put through its paces.  

Being specifically designed for close quarter combat, the Squire handles beautifully. It is a very responsive sword that feels “alive” and light in the hand. Easily wieldable even in novice hands, the Squire dagger's characteristics make it a medieval weapon of choice for all collectors. The dagger is perfectly balance for swift movement and powerful delivery in both cut and thrust motions. 

While historically made for the noble elites, the Squire is perfect for beginner and advanced students of the sword. The Crusader dagger is a light, responsive and enjoyable dagger to handle while being resilient enough to withstand actual use in combat.

Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, the Darksword Armory Ringil is a European-style sabre with a fantasy twist. In the ancient history of Middle Earth, Ringil was carried by the elven High King Fingolfin, the most valiant warrior who ever lived. One of the few named weapons in Tolkien’s works, Ringil was used by Fingolfin in his epic single combat against the Dark Lord Morgoth. This deadly Elven blade gave the Dark Lord wounds from which he never recovered. Our version of Ringil is single-edged, as were many of the Elven weapons of the Second Age depicted in the Peter Jackson Fellowship of the Ring prologue. A hand-and-a-half sabre, this sword is similar to 16th century Swiss designs – with a fantasy twist. With excellent handing, a carved hardwood handle, and Elven script on the blade this sword sits comfortable at the intersection of deadly and beauty.

SPECS:
Total Length : 46”
Blade Length: 34”
grip: 8.5"
Blade Width: 2 ”
Crossguard Length: 6”
Guard Depth: 7/8”
Weight: 3 lbs 13oz.

"There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long."

The Gurthang is a sword inspired by a dark fate. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, the Gurthang is a meteoric iron sword originally forged by the Dark Elf Eöl but made most famous in the hands of the tragic hero Túrin Turambar. Unlike other swords in Toliien’s work Gurthang was said to have a personality, to rejoice in war and lament over the blood of the innocent. Countless orcs fell before its edge, and it was even used to slay the Father of Dragons. Our version of Gurthang is a two-handed longsword with a 32” double-fullered blade. The curved guard with elven script and black hardwood grip – carved with elegant knotwork – show the weapon’s Elven inspired heritage. The long handle and heavy pommel provide excellent leverage and bring the point of balance down close to the guard, giving this sword a lively presence. Holding it, one feels as though they too could face off against a dragon.

Inspired by the Italian greatswords of the 16th century, the  Medici, type XVIIIb, Two-Handed Sword is a surprisingly elegant and nimble design. The long, slender blade is rendered a strong thrusting weapon due to the diamond cross-section, allowing it to slip between plates of armor and split rings of mail. Yet the reasonable point-of-balance and extended, leather-wrapped handle create a weapon that flows smoothly through guard, cut, and thrust, not limiting it to a single style of offence. The gracefully curved guard and scentstopper pommel complement the simple and straightforward blade, and everything is polished to a mirror sheen. The Medici, named for the Italian political dynasty that were for a time the de facto rulers of Italy, is a beautiful weapon that deserves to be a centrepiece in your home.

SPECS:
Total Length : 51”

grip: 9"
Blade Width: 2 1/16”

Based on the Type XX German Longswords of 16th century, the Olbrecht is a true warsword. A late evolution of the medieval sword, the Type XX’s broad, refined blade is designed to effect powerful strokes with devastating results. Twin fullers give the blade a unique design while both adding strength and reducing weight. Like many Renaissance two-handed warswords the handle is long and designed to provide adequate leverage for heavy blows. A scentstopper pommel (common to the Type XX) and long, slightly curved guard complete the weapon. While some of the larger two-handed swords of Type XX style were decorative in purpose, the Olbrecht is a true battle-ready sword – even if there are no longer battles for it to fight.

SPECS:

Total Length : 49.5”
Blade Length: 36”
grip: 10"
Blade Width: 2 1/16”
Crossguard Length: 10”
Guard Depth: 7/8”
Weight: 3lbs 11oz. 
P.O.B.: 4 ¾”
