From a Bladesong Sword Design to a Real Hand-Forged Sword

If you have built a sword in Bladesong and wondered whether it could exist in real steel, the answer is yes. Everest Forge can take your Bladesong design as a reference and hand-forge a real, functional version of it in Nepal. Send us your screenshots, your written specs, or the STL file you exported from the game, and our bladesmiths will review whether your concept can be forged and what it would take to bring it to life.

This guide explains how the game-to-forge process works, what to send us, and where a fantasy design may need small adjustments to survive in real steel.

What Is Bladesong?

Bladesong is a swordmaking simulation game released in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store in January 2026, developed by Sun and Serpent Creations and published by Mythwright. It lets players craft swords through freeform blade shaping and a modular hilt system, choosing from a large library of parts, materials such as metal, wood, leather, obsidian and ivory, and detailed engravings and runes.

Its Creative Mode is a full swordmaking sandbox, and finished designs can be shared with the community or exported as STL files for 3D printing. That export feature is the important part for us: a design you can export is a design we can forge from.

Can Everest Forge Make a Sword Inspired by Your Bladesong Design?

Yes. You can send us your Bladesong sword screenshots, sketches, measurements, or STL reference, and our team will review whether it can be forged as a real custom sword. Everest Forge hand-forges swords, kukri, daggers, machetes, cleavers, and fantasy-inspired blades from high-carbon steel, and we regularly work from customer concepts rather than fixed catalogue designs.

Real steel has weight, thickness, balance, and heat-treatment limits that a game does not enforce, so some designs need small changes to become a safe, functional blade. Our aim is to keep the character of your design while making it strong enough to forge and use.

The Easiest Bridge: Export Your STL

Bladesong already lets you export your creation as an STL file for 3D printing. That same file is one of the most useful things you can send us. An STL gives our smiths a clear three-dimensional reference for the blade profile, the guard, the handle, and the pommel, which removes guesswork and makes both the quote and the forging far more accurate.

If you cannot export an STL, clear screenshots from both sides plus close-ups of each component work well too. The more precisely we can see your design, the closer the finished blade will match it.

How to Send Your Bladesong Sword Design to Everest Forge

If you have created a sword in Bladesong and want a real version forged, follow these steps:

  1. Finish your sword design in Bladesong.
  2. Export the STL file if you can, or take clear screenshots from both sides.
  3. Capture close-up images of the blade, guard, handle, and pommel.
  4. Note your preferred blade length, handle material, finish, and scabbard style.
  5. Submit everything through our custom forge request page.

What Details Should You Include?

The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quote and your finished sword will be. Try to include:

  • Overall sword length
  • Blade length
  • Handle length
  • Blade finish: satin, mirror polish, raw forged, black finish, or antique look
  • Handle material: rosewood, bone, horn, leather wrap, or mixed materials
  • Guard and pommel style
  • Scabbard colour and material
  • Any engraving, runes, symbols, or custom text
  • How you will use it: display, cosplay, light cutting, or full functional use

Digital Fantasy Design vs Real Forged Steel

A game design can be wildly creative, but a real sword also has to be strong, balanced, and forgeable by hand. Some in-game designs have extremely thin sections, oversized guards, heavy pommels, or shapes that read well on screen but need adjusting in steel.

When we review your design, we may suggest changes to improve:

  • Blade strength and spine thickness
  • Weight and balance in the hand
  • Handle comfort and grip length
  • Full-tang construction where possible for durability
  • Practical forging, edge geometry, and finishing

These adjustments turn a fantasy concept into a real handmade blade without losing the feeling of the original design. We confirm every change with you before any steel is cut.

Recreated a Movie Sword in Bladesong? Forge the Real One

Many Bladesong players use the game to recreate iconic blades from films, series, and franchises. If you have built a cinematic sword in-game, our Movie Swords collection is the natural next step: hand-forged, fully functional steel versions of legendary and film-inspired blades, made in Nepal rather than cast as lightweight display props. Design it in-game, then have the real thing forged to your specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Everest Forge really make my Bladesong sword in real life?

In many cases, yes. Send us your Bladesong screenshots, STL export, or design notes and we will review whether the sword can be hand-forged. Some fantasy designs need small adjustments to work in real steel, and we confirm any changes with you first.

What is the best file to send from Bladesong?

The STL file you can export from Bladesong for 3D printing is ideal, because it gives our smiths a clear three-dimensional reference. If you cannot export one, clear screenshots from both sides with close-ups of the blade, guard, handle, and pommel also work well.

Will the real sword look exactly like my in-game design?

We aim to keep the character and silhouette of your design as close as possible. Because real steel has weight, balance, and strength limits, some proportions may be adjusted for safety and function, but the finished blade is built to feel true to your original concept.

How much does a custom sword from a Bladesong design cost?

Price depends on blade length, materials, engraving, and complexity. Once we review your design we send a final quote including shipping, so you know the full cost before forging begins.

How long does it take to forge a custom sword?

Timelines vary with complexity. After reviewing your design we confirm an estimated forging and delivery time along with your quote.

Can you add engraving, runes, or custom text?

Yes. Names, dates, runes, symbols, and original artwork can be etched or engraved on the blade or scabbard. We cannot reproduce trademarks or copyrighted logos belonging to other businesses.

Is Everest Forge affiliated with Bladesong?

No. Everest Forge is an independent blade maker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Bladesong or its developer and publisher. We simply welcome customers who want to use their own game-inspired designs as references for real custom forging.
