The Forge Chronicles

In Westeros, size isn't everything. A massive Greatsword like Ice might win a battlefield, but a small dagger of Valyrian steel ended the war against the Dead.

For collectors, the same logic applies. While our 30cm flagship models (like Longclaw) are stunning, they require dedicated shelf space. Sometimes, you just want a piece of the Seven Kingdoms that fits perfectly next to your keyboard or serves as the most intimidating letter opener in the office.

At BlacksmithSONG, we categorize our weapons by scale. Today, we are looking at the "Compact Class" (18cm - 22cm). These are small, affordable, and incredibly dense.

1. The Assassin's Choice: Catspaw Dagger

• Length: 18cm

• Weight: 78g

• Material: Zinc Alloy with Faux-Dragonbone Handle

This is the blade that started the War of the Five Kings and ended the Night King.
Despite being the shortest item on this list at 18cm, the Catspaw Dagger is surprisingly heavy at 78g.

• The Detail: It features a simulated "Dragonbone" hilt and the distinct Valyrian steel ripple on the blade.

• The Use Case: Its short, wide blade profile makes it the most robust "fidget" item or letter opener. It feels indestructible in the hand.

2. The Rogue Prince: Dark Sister (Compact Edition)

• Length: 22cm

• Weight: 74g

• Material: Zinc Alloy

Before we release a 30cm version, the classic 22cm Dark Sister remains a fan favorite for Daemon Targaryen supporters.
At 74g, it is lighter than the Catspaw despite being longer. This reflects the slender, needle-like design of the original sword. It takes up minimal space on a desk but clearly displays the Targaryen aesthetic.

• Why buy it? If you want a House of the Dragon relic that doesn't dominate your entire setup.

3. The Sword of the Morning: Dawn

• Length: 22cm

• Weight: 70g

• Material: Zinc Alloy (Pale Milkglass Finish)

This is the most unique blade in terms of color. Dawn is not Valyrian steel; in the lore, it was forged from a fallen star.
Our 22cm replica captures this with a pale, silvery-white blade finish, distinct from the dark grey of our other products. At 70g, it is a lightweight, elegant piece representing House Dayne.

• Why buy it? For the "deep lore" fans who know that Ser Arthur Dayne was the greatest swordsman to ever live.

Size Comparison: Compact vs. Standard

To help you visualize the difference, here is how the "Compact Class" stacks up against our new "Standard Class" (like Blackfyre).

⚒️ Pro Tip: If you place the Catspaw Dagger next to the Longclaw, the scale difference looks historically accurate—a dagger next to a bastard sword. They complement each other perfectly.

The Verdict: Which Small Blade?

• Go for the Catspaw Dagger if you want the highest detail density. The "dragonbone" texture on the handle is fantastic for this scale.

• Go for Dark Sister if you need a sleek, budget-friendly Targaryen token ($14.12).

• Go for Dawn if you want something that stands out visually with its pale "star-metal" color.

Small size. Huge legacy.
