Dauntless Shield Replica - 12.5cm Die-Cast Metal Shield

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 12.5cm (4.9") and 74g (2.6 oz) of solid die-cast zinc alloy, the Dauntless Shield replica ships free worldwide from BlacksmithSONG. It's the shield built to get hit on purpose — the one Kratos reaches for when a clean block isn't aggressive enough. Every ridge of that scalework carries real weight in your hand, not just pixels on a screen.

What Is the Dauntless Shield?

The Dauntless Shield is one of two shields Kratos can craft at Brok and Sindri's workshop after his Guardian Shield is destroyed early in God of War Ragnarök. Built for parrying rather than blocking, it charges a devastating Shield Bash with every well-timed deflection — the aggressive player's pick over the sturdier Stone Wall Shield.

The Watch-Post That Didn't Hold

We built this one around a battle-scarred outpost — a dead tree standing over stacked crates and barrels, one stove in at the side like something hit it hard. A clay jug balances on the crates, and one of Odin's ravens has landed to keep watch — exactly the kind of spy Kratos spends half the Norse saga shooting out of the sky. Scattered across the dirt: loot-red and green shards, a bone half-buried in the ash, and a scatter of arrows caught along the shield's face — parries that actually landed. Every photo here is a real shot of the real piece in that handcrafted set. No CGI, no renders.

What You're Holding

How Big Is 12.5cm, Really?

Set it next to a standard soda can — at about 12.2cm tall, that can gives you an honest read on the shield's reach. At 74g (2.6 oz), it's denser than the delicate scalework suggests; this isn't a hollow prop. The handheld photo above shows exactly how it sits against a real palm.

The Metalwork

Each Dauntless Shield replica is die-cast as a single zinc-alloy body, then hand-finished. The radiating scalework and vein-like ribs across the face are shaped directly into the mold, holding crisp relief under any light. A small red gem sits set into the center medallion, and the leaf-pointed tip carries its own carved vine motif — details you'll feel as much as see. Read the full forging story for how that scalework holds up under macro-lens scrutiny.

Choose Your Display

Dauntless Shield ships shield-only, or add a Small Stand (+$2) or Large Stand (+$3) — no vertical mount for this one, since the leaf-shaped silhouette reads best angled forward like it's mid-parry. The Large Stand gives the scalework more presence on a shelf; the Small Stand keeps it desk-sized.
