Dark Fantasy Longsword — Hand-Forged Full-Tang Blackened Blade with Single-Sided Ring Guard
This is a hand-forged, fully functional dark fantasy longsword — an original medieval-inspired design forged in Nepal from high-carbon steel, full tang, and battle-ready. It carries a long straight double-edged blade in a weathered blackened gunmetal finish, a distinctive single-sided ring guard, a faceted iron pommel, and a leather-wrapped rosewood grip, paired with a brown leather-covered wooden scabbard. Every sword is made to order in your chosen finish and engraving.
The blade is 31 inches with a stout 5 to 6 mm spine, built for both thrusting and cutting. The blackened finish and iron fittings give it a rugged, worn battlefield look, while the full-tang construction makes it a real sword you can handle and display — not a cast wall-hanger.
An honest note. This is an original hand-forged dark fantasy longsword, built as a real, functional blade and a collector's centrepiece. We frame it as the craft object it is rather than as an instrument of harm. What we care about is the steel, the blackened finish, the ring guard, and the balance.

This is our original dark fantasy longsword — a medieval-inspired design built around a straight, double-edged blade and an aggressive, weathered aesthetic. The single-sided ring guard and faceted iron pommel set it apart from a standard cruciform longsword, giving it the look of a weapon pulled from a dark fantasy world. It is a modern hand-forged sword in high-carbon steel — full tang, battle-ready, with a blackened gunmetal finish over a stout blade.

Shipping, Returns & Care
Shipping
This is a made-to-order sword and takes roughly 4 to 6 weeks to forge before dispatch. We ship worldwide by DHL or FedEx in 7 to 14 business days, tracked. Import and blade laws vary by country, so please check your local rules before ordering.
Returns & Warranty
Every blade is backed by the Everest Forge warranty against forging and material defects. If something is wrong with your order, we will repair, replace, or refund it. Because this is a custom build, we can provide progress and approval photos before shipping, so please confirm your spec carefully before purchase.
Care
Wipe the blade clean and dry after handling, and apply a light coat of oil before storage to protect the high-carbon steel from moisture. The blackened finish is intentionally weathered and durable, but oiling protects it further. Keep the rosewood grip and leather scabbard away from prolonged damp. With basic care, the blade will outlast its owner.

What is the Dark Fantasy Longsword?
It is our original dark fantasy longsword — a medieval-inspired design with a straight, double-edged blade, a distinctive single-sided ring guard, and a faceted iron pommel, finished in a weathered blackened gunmetal. It is a modern, hand-forged, battle-ready sword in high-carbon steel.
Is this a real, battle-ready sword?
Yes. It is hand-forged from high-carbon steel with a full tang and a stout 5 to 6 mm spine, built battle-ready rather than as a cast display piece. You can order it sharpened to a true edge or left display-blunt, depending on how you plan to use it.
What steel is it made from?
The blade is forged from high-carbon steel, chosen for toughness and edge retention, and heat-treated for functional strength. The stout spine and full tang are what make it suitable for real handling and cutting rather than display alone.
Is it full tang?
Yes. The tang runs the full length of the handle, so there is no rat-tail or glued-in tang to fail. Full-tang construction is what gives the longsword its strength and balance for functional handling.
What is the single-sided ring guard?
The ring guard is a distinctive iron guard with a single side ring, inspired by dark fantasy and medieval side-ring designs. It gives the sword its aggressive look and adds a measure of hand protection, and it is formed and fitted by hand in iron.
What is the blackened finish?
The blade is given a dark gunmetal, blackened finish that is intentionally weathered to create a worn, battlefield appearance. It is a finish rather than paint, so it is durable, and light oiling keeps it protected over time.
Can I change the blade length or finish?
Yes. The standard blade is 31 inches, and you can order it shorter or longer, and choose the finish, the edge, and engraving. Every sword is forged to the spec you select, so the size and look are yours to set.
What is the handle made of?
The handle has a solid rosewood core wrapped in leather for a secure, comfortable grip, with an iron ring guard and a faceted iron pommel that also help balance the sword. Each grip is fitted and wrapped by hand.
Does it come with a scabbard?
Yes. It ships with a brown leather-covered wooden scabbard, made by hand to fit the blade size you order.
Can I add a name or engraving?
Yes. You can add a name, initials, or a short message to the blade, and you can upload your own logo or photo for custom engraving. Personalized blades are forged to order, so please confirm the details before you buy.
Is it good for cosplay and display?
Yes. The blackened finish and ring guard make it a striking piece for dark fantasy cosplay, costume, and themed display, as well as functional handling. Choose the display-blunt edge option if you want it for safe handling on set.
Do you ship worldwide, and how long does it take?
Yes. This is a made-to-order sword that takes roughly 4 to 6 weeks to forge, then ships worldwide from Nepal by DHL or FedEx in 7 to 14 business days with tracking. Import and blade laws vary by country, so please check your local rules before ordering.
