Jody Samson makes this nice reproduction of the Discerner sword originally forged in 1072AD. And probable inspiration for the sword in Excalibur.





But I hope this isn't just about historically faithful items.

I dream of having a Jody Samson sword from the film Conan.
He designed and built the Conan film swords. And identical hand-crafted high-quality functional swords can be commissioned.
You can't call them reproductions because they're individually made like the original movie swords from the original studio molds. Of they cost $3,000 to $10,000 each. But I'd love to have one still:






the father's sword - actually forged in the opening credits.




The Atlantean Sword Conan gets from the crypt and uses throughout the film.

He even makes Subotai's sword and Valeria's sword as well as fur scabbards like in the film.
