Vine-Etched Elven Sword Replica – 22cm Die-Cast Metal

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.

Solid die-cast zinc alloy, 22cm (8.7"), 81g (2.9 oz) — that's Thranduil's Sword, shipped free worldwide by BlacksmithSONG. Slim, understated, and covered end to end in vine-like scrollwork — this one reads more like a court piece than a battlefield one, right up until you remember who actually wore it into a fight.

What Is Thranduil's Sword?

This is the personal blade of the Elvenking of the deep forest — the ruler who confiscated a captured dwarf-lord's own sword, kept it through a long imprisonment, and later laid it upon that same lord's tomb as a final honor. His own sword rarely gets the spotlight; his son's bow and that borrowed blade usually do.

A Court Set Deep in the Trees

We built a forest floor thick with foliage for this one: fallen autumn leaves, a strand of pearls draped over a weathered branch, and a small court's worth of silverware close by — an ornate goblet still holding a dark red pour, a tall ewer, a tray of dried fruit on polished silver. It reads less like a battlefield and more like a hall in the middle of the woods, which is closer to how this blade actually spent most of its story. Every photo on this page is a real shot of the real replica inside that handmade set. No CGI, no renders. Read the full forging story for how the silverware corner came together.

What You're Holding

How Big Is 22cm, Really?

About the length of a pair of chopsticks laid end to end — close enough that you probably have a real-world measuring stick in your own kitchen drawer. At 81g (2.9 oz) it's surprisingly light, in keeping with a blade built for a duelist's reach rather than a war-hammer's weight. The in-hand photo shows exactly how that translates to grip.

The Metalwork

One pour, one zinc-alloy body, then hand-finished by the two of us. The vine-and-branch etching running the full length of the blade is cut into the mold itself, so it stays crisp instead of smearing into a blur under close light — this is the most detailed engraving in this collection so far. The asymmetric guard, with its single antler-like curl on one side, is shaped the same way. A small ring sits cast at both the pommel and the scabbard's tip.

Choose Your Display

Sword alone, or add a Small Stand (+$2), Large Stand (+$3), or Vertical Stand (+$4) — all three are in the photo set. Given how slender this blade is, we'd lean toward the Vertical Stand: standing, the branch-curl guard reads clearly against open air instead of getting lost against a flat backdrop.

He didn't keep only his own blade close. Look for the ancient blade he laid to rest — a dwarf-lord's sword he confiscated, held, and eventually returned as a final honor — and the bow his son carries , forged in a very different corner of the same story.
