The Forge Chronicles

When you look at the Iron Throne, who do you see sitting on it? Do you hear the howling wind of Winterfell, or do you feel the heat of Dragonfire?

For collectors of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon memorabilia, the choice often comes down to allegiance. House Stark represents honor, survival, and brutal efficiency. House Targaryen represents power, magic, and conquest.

At BlacksmithSONG, our forge produces replicas for both sides of the war. But which metal suits your desk best? We compared the weight, scale, and aesthetics of our top selling blades to help you decide.

Team Wolf: The Arsenal of the North

The Stark aesthetic is defined by function over form. However, their blades carry the heaviest emotional weight—and physical weight—in our collection.

1. The King's Blade: Longclaw

• Best For: The Leader.

• The Specs: 30cm | 157g

• Why it wins: Even though technically a Mormont sword, Longclaw became the soul of Jon Snow. At 157g, it is a heavy, commanding piece. The white wolf pommel with red eyes is the most recognizable symbol in the entire series. It says "I defend the realms of men."

2. The Assassin's Needle: Arya's Pride

• Best For: The Underdog.

• The Specs: 30cm | 109g

• Why it wins: Don't let the name fool you. Our Needle is not a toy. At 30cm, it matches Longclaw in length but features a much slender, piercing profile. Weighing 109g, it feels agile but substantial. It’s perfect for the "Water Dancer" who values precision.

3. The Legacy: Oathkeeper

• Best For: The Protector.

• The Specs: 30cm | 177g

• Why it wins: Yes, the hilt is Lannister Gold. But the steel? That is Stark steel. Forged from the melted remains of Ned Stark's greatsword Ice, Oathkeeper is a massive slab of metal. At 177g, it is the heaviest sword in our current GoT lineup. It is for those who value promises above all else.

🐺 The Stark Verdict: Choose these if you like heavy, substantial props with a focus on rugged leather textures and silver/grey tones.

Team Dragon: The Valyrian Legacy

The Targaryen aesthetic is ancient, magical, and often more ornate. These swords feel like artifacts from a lost civilization.

1. The Conqueror: Blackfyre Sword

• Best For: The Ruler.

• The Specs: 30cm | 141g

• Why it wins: This is the sword of Kings. Wielded by Aegon the Conqueror and Viserys I, Blackfyre features complex black and gold detailing on the hilt. At 141g, it is heavy, but slightly lighter than Longclaw, reflecting the superior balance of pure Valyrian forging.

2. The Rogue: Dark Sister

• Best For: The Chaos Agent.

• The Specs: 22cm | 74g

• Why it wins: Belonging to Daemon Targaryen, this blade is built for speed. Note that our Dark Sister is a compact 22cm model weighing 74g. It captures the slender, vicious nature of the Rogue Prince. It pairs perfectly on a display stand next to the larger Blackfyre.

🐉 The Targaryen Verdict: Choose these if you prefer the "Black and Gold" royal aesthetic and the intricate ripple patterns of ancient Valyria.

Head-to-Head: The "Battle of the Bastards"

Still can't decide? Let's look at the raw data. If you want the most metal for your money, the "Stark" lineage (including Oathkeeper) currently dominates the weight class.

The Blacksmith's Choice

Why choose one side?
The story of Game of Thrones is the story of Ice and Fire coming together. The ultimate collector's display features Longclaw crossed with Blackfyre—the Prince that was Promised (Jon) and the Conqueror (Aegon).

Whether you are breaking the wheel or protecting the wall, we have the steel for you.
