Orcrist Replica – 21cm Die-Cast Metal Sword | Sister Blade of the Goblin Wars

Filmed on a miniature set we build by hand for each piece — the weight in the hand, the scale against everyday objects, the die-cast detail up close. No CGI, no stock footage.

At 21cm (8.3") and 93g (3.3 oz) of solid die-cast zinc alloy, the Orcrist replica ships free worldwide from BlacksmithSONG. It's the curved, single-edged one — shorter and lighter than its straight-bladed sister, but the goblins of the story feared it just the same.

What Is Orcrist?

Orcrist is a small elven blade out of a lost city of the elder days, forged as the sibling piece to another royal-made sword and lost together with it when that city fell. Thousands of years later a certain dwarf lord who would be king under a mountain pulled it from a troll-hoard, carried it through goblin tunnels and a woodland kingdom, and was finally laid to rest beneath it. Goblins who met it called it Biter.

The Hoard Where It Waited

We built a coal-black hoard for this one: a treasure chest spilling blue and gold gems, chains dropping out of the dark overhead, a burnt-down candle, a scatter of small skulls and one lonely gold coin, with an anvil and a cold forge standing off to the side — the kind of place a blade goes to be forgotten, right up until someone digs it back out. Every photo on this page is a real shot of the real replica sitting in that handmade set. No CGI, no renders.

It was never a lone piece. The mate it was forged beside came out of the exact same hoard on the exact same morning, carried by the exact same company; and it shares its whole bloodline with Sting , the third blade pulled from that pile. Read the full forging story for how we built the treasure chest.

What You're Holding

21cm in the Real World

Close to the blade length of a full-size chef's knife, laid tip to heel — about 20cm of edge on a knife you likely already own, if you want to eyeball it before it arrives. At 93g (3.3 oz) it's noticeably lighter than our longer pieces, which suits a blade built for speed rather than reach. There's a ruler in the photo set for the exact number, and the in-hand shot shows how it actually sits in a palm.

Straight from the Mold

Each piece is die-cast in zinc alloy as a single body, then hand-finished by the two of us. That hooked, single-pronged crossguard is the detail people ask about first — it's shaped into the mold as one continuous curve, not bolted or bent after casting, so it holds its exact angle piece to piece. The script running down the blade's twin fullers is cast the same way. The scabbard is its own piece, with a swirl-worked metal chape at the tip carrying a small ring and clasp.

Choose Your Display

Orcrist alone, or add a Small Stand (+$2), Large Stand (+$3), or Vertical Stand (+$4) — all three are in the photo set. Given the blade's curve, we'd lean toward one of the flat stands to let that hook silhouette read clearly from the side; the Vertical Stand suits a more upright, ceremonial look instead. It ships in a foam-lined gift box — see the actual box in the photo set, no stock-photo substitutes here.
