The Hidden Blade Armory: All 10 Pieces, Measured and Compared

BlacksmithSONG carries 10 Assassin's Creed weapon replicas spanning four games — Altaïr's original blade from AC1, six spears and polearms from Odyssey and Valhalla, one trident, a Victorian cane sword from Syndicate, and Excalibur from Valhalla. Lengths run 16–30 cm (6.3–11.8 in), weights run 26–138 g (0.92–4.9 oz), and sword-only or weapon-only starting prices run $14.99–$29.99. All die-cast zinc alloy, all cast blunt, all fan-made and unofficial.

Here's the stat that surprises people: the heaviest piece here, the Adept Cane Sword at 138 g (4.9 oz), outweighs the lightest, Black Thorn at 26 g (0.92 oz), by more than 5 to 1 — and Black Thorn is a 22 cm (8.7 in) spear. Weight has almost nothing to do with length in this lineup; it comes down to how solid each casting is. The longest piece, the 30 cm Sword of Altair at 135 g, is slightly lighter than the 22 cm Adept Cane Sword.

What Does the Whole Lineup Look Like at a Glance?

Swords & Blades: Three Games, Three Very Different Weapons

Sword of Altair is the one that started the whole series: the current replica measures 30 cm (11.8 in) and weighs 135 g (4.8 oz), with a winged guard and black scabbard. It's the personal blade of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad — spelled with the diaeresis in-game, though search boxes everywhere (this page included) just use "Altair." The Adept Cane Sword is a different animal entirely: at 138 g (4.9 oz) it's the heaviest thing in this whole lineup, styled after the concealed cane swords Assassins carried through Victorian London in Syndicate — a walking stick until it very much isn't.

Excalibur brings Valhalla's greatsword to the sword section: 29 cm (11.4 in), 126 g (4.4 oz), and $24.99 without a stand. Its gold hilt, matte-silver blade and ember-red tip make a very different display from Altair's bright blade and black scabbard. In the game, it is the sword earned through eleven Treasures of Britain tablets and the stone in Myrddin's Cave.

All three sit on the sword shelf alongside everything else we've photographed with an edge.

Spears & Polearms: Six Pieces from Three Games

This is the crowded end of the lineup, and the six pieces don't have much in common besides a shaft and a point. Gungnir is Odin's own spear, tied up in AC Valhalla's Isu mythology and the lightest full-length piece here at 29 g (1.0 oz). The Impaler is Valhalla's other long-handled piece — in-game it's classified as an atgeir, a Norse polearm, which is also why it lives on our halberd shelf rather than the spear collection with the rest of this group. Athena's Spear is the heaviest of the six at 44 g (1.6 oz); Black Thorn is the lightest thing in the entire 10-piece lineup at 26 g (0.92 oz). The two Spears of Leonidas get their own section next — same name, two different games, two different sizes.

The other five sit on the spear shelf.

Two Spears Named Leonidas — What's the Difference?

Both are called "Spear of Leonidas," and both trace back to the same Isu artifact — the broken spear of the Spartan king. That's where the resemblance ends. The Odyssey version is 16 cm (6.3 in) and 37 g (1.3 oz), the shortest piece we carry from this era, tied to Kassandra or Alexios from the opening hours of the game. The Valhalla version is 22 cm (8.7 in) and 27 g (0.95 oz) — longer but noticeably lighter — and shows up much later, through the Isle of Skye content added in the Crossover Stories update, in Eivor's hands. If you're only picking up one, the size difference is the easiest way to tell them apart on a shelf.

The One Trident: Poseidon's, Solo in This Lineup

Poseidon's Trident is the only three-pronged piece we carry from this series — 22 cm (8.7 in) and 35 g (1.2 oz), squarely in the middle of the lineup's weight range, tied to the Greek mythology running through AC Odyssey. It sits on its own trident shelf rather than with the swords or spears, alongside every other multi-pronged piece we've photographed.

Which Assassin's Creed Replica Should You Start With?

For the series' original weapon, Sword of Altair is the obvious pick — 30 cm (11.8 in), 135 g (4.8 oz), starting at $29.99. For Valhalla's greatsword, Excalibur offers a 29 cm (11.4 in), 126 g (4.4 oz) display piece starting at $24.99. For raw density, Adept Cane Sword is the heaviest piece on this entire shelf at 138 g (4.9 oz). For something none of the swords or spears can give you, Poseidon's Trident is the only three-pronged option here. And if you want the piece that costs the least to bring home, Gungnir and Spear of Leonidas (Valhalla) both start at $14.99.

Do the Replicas Come With Display Stands?

Stands are optional add-ons, not included with the weapon-only option. Sword of Altair and Excalibur each offer Small (+$2), Large (+$3), or Vertical (+$4). That makes their option prices $29.99 / $31.99 / $32.99 / $33.99 for Sword of Altair and $24.99 / $26.99 / $27.99 / $28.99 for Excalibur, respectively: without stand, Small, Large, then Vertical.

The other pieces retain their own stand choices. Gungnir, Poseidon's Trident, The Impaler, Spear of Leonidas (Odyssey and Valhalla), and the Adept Cane Sword offer a Medium tier (+$3), with Small at +$2 and Vertical at +$4. Athena's Spear and Black Thorn skip the Medium tier and go from Small (+$2) to Vertical (+$3). Check each product's options for current availability.

What Are These Replicas, and What Aren't They?

Assassin's Creed Replica FAQ

Is this officially licensed by Ubisoft?

No. Every piece here is an unofficial, fan-made collectible inspired by the Assassin's Creed series, not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Ubisoft.

Which Assassin's Creed replica is the heaviest?

The Adept Cane Sword, at 138 g (4.9 oz) — more than 5 times the weight of the lightest piece here, Black Thorn at 26 g (0.92 oz), despite both being cast in the same zinc alloy. Sword of Altair is close behind at 135 g (4.8 oz), while Excalibur weighs 126 g (4.4 oz).

Are the blades and points sharp?

No — every edge and point across all 10 pieces is cast blunt straight from the mold. Display collectibles for ages 14+, not functional weapons.

Why are there two Spears of Leonidas?

Because the same in-lore weapon shows up in two different games. The Odyssey version (16 cm / 6.3 in) comes from the base game; the Valhalla version (22 cm / 8.7 in) was added later through the Isle of Skye content. See the section above for the full breakdown.

How big is the current Sword of Altair replica?

The current piece measures 30 cm (11.8 in) sheathed and weighs 135 g (4.8 oz), starting at $29.99 without a stand. It replaces the older 22 cm / 83 g listing; the product address stays the same.

How does Excalibur compare with Sword of Altair?

Excalibur is 29 cm (11.4 in), 126 g (4.4 oz), and starts at $24.99. Sword of Altair is 30 cm (11.8 in), 135 g (4.8 oz), and starts at $29.99. Excalibur has a gold hilt and ember-red blade tip; Altair has a winged guard and black scabbard. Both offer optional Small, Large and Vertical stands.

That's the full lineup, side by side. Browse everything in the Hidden Blade Armory — and if you're into the mythology running through Valhalla and Odyssey, the Nine Realms Armory and the Silver & Steel Armory cover Greek, Norse and Slavic ground of their own.

Family swords with centuries of baggage aren't unique to this line, either — the Valyrian Steel Vault carries seven blades whose owners argued over them for generations.
