Skofnung Replica - 22cm Die-Cast Metal Sword

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

The Skofnung replica is cast in solid die-cast zinc alloy — 22cm (8.7"), 41g (1.4 oz), free worldwide tracked shipping. Word has it this is the sharpest sword ever to draw blood in Midgard — and yet in the game itself, you only ever hold its hilt. We built the version everyone actually wants: the whole blade, standing again.

What is Skofnung?

Skofnung is the sword of Hrólf Kraki, the legendary Danish berserker king, and his saga ranks it the best blade ever carried in the North. In God of War Ragnarök, the souls of Hrólf and his twelve berserkers linger in it, and all you keep is the hilt. Ours, an unofficial fan-art take on it, brings the blade back at 41g (1.4 oz), under half the 89g (3.1 oz) of our same-length Thrungva.

The King's Grave

We built this one straight out of the boss fight's aftermath — weathered gravestones etched with runes that glow faint green in the dark, dead trees clawing up around the plot, and the wreckage of a losing battle scattered through the frost: broken Viking shields, a spent axe, rusted chain links, and more than a few skulls half-buried in the snow. Beside the largest headstone sits a crown in the same style the king himself wears — a quiet marker for whose grave this actually is. Every photo on this page is a real shot of the real piece in that handcrafted set. No CGI, no renders.

What You're Holding

The Honest Size Check

Set it against the width of a sheet of A4 paper — about 21cm — and you're within a centimeter of Skofnung's real length. At 41g (1.4 oz), it's one of the lightest pieces in the lineup; no pretending it has Mjolnir-style heft. What you get instead is a long, lean blade that reads fast rather than heavy — the handheld photo above shows exactly how that feels.

Cast, Not Cut

Each Skofnung replica is die-cast as a single zinc-alloy body, then hand-finished. The scrollwork crossguard and the fuller running down the blade's center are shaped straight into the mold, and a small green gem sits set into the guard where the quillons meet. The ribbed pommel carries a metal ring at the tip, ready to hang from a hook or a stand loop.

Choose Your Display

Skofnung ships blade-only, or add a Small Stand (+$2), Large Stand (+$3), or Vertical Stand (+$4) — with a blade this long and lean, the Vertical Stand shows it off best. If named blades are your focus, it pairs naturally with Ingrid , Freyr’s own sword.

Free worldwide tracked shipping, a foam-lined gift box, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on every order. Browse the rest of our God of War collection , or see every sword replica in our lineup. Kratos took the blade and left the crown behind — we figure the shelf is a better home for it than a grave.

Safety Note: Recommended for ages 14+. It is not a functional weapon.
