The God Killer Sword - DC Comics (Metal)

It is a 40" display replica of the sword Wonder Woman carries from Themyscira, built with an embossed stainless steel blade, a detailed gold handle, and a black faux leather sheath. It is made for collectors, costume builds, and wall display rather than any functional use.

It was a gift from the gods to the Amazons, stored in a tower on Themyscira that held the divine armory. It was kept as a relic rather than a working weapon, which is part of why Diana has to take it rather than be handed it.

The Amazons believed it was the only thing capable of slaying Ares, the God of War. That belief is what gives the sword its name and its status on the island, and it is the reason Diana brings it off Themyscira at all.

No, and that is the twist. Ares destroys the blade almost completely and reveals that the sword was never the God Killer. Diana herself is. The weapon was a story the Amazons told rather than the thing that would end him.

Diana uses it to kill General Ludendorff, believing him to be Ares in human form. The war continues, which is the first sign the sword is not what she thinks. When the real Ares confronts her, he disintegrates most of the blade, and she later carries the Sword of Athena instead.

The sword measures 40" overall with a 30.25" blade and a 9.75" handle. Plan for roughly 41" of clear wall or shelf space for display, and note that the blade makes up the large majority of that length.

The patterning is raised into the steel rather than printed or painted on, so the detail catches light and holds up to handling. It is what gives the blade its worked, ceremonial appearance rather than the flat look of a plain display sword.

No. The blade is finished as a display replica with an unsharpened edge. It is intended for display, photography, and costume presentation only.

Yes. A black faux leather sheath is included and sized to this blade. It protects the embossed finish during storage and transport, and it suits belt carry for costume use.

No. This is a fan inspired replica produced independently, with no affiliation with or endorsement from Warner Bros., DC Comics, or any other rights holder. For care, wipe the blade with a dry microfiber cloth after handling, since skin oils settle into embossed detailing faster than they do on a flat blade. Apply a light coat of mineral oil once or twice a year. Do not use metal polish or abrasive pads on the gold handle finish, since polishing strips it to bare metal and that damage cannot be undone.
