Thorfinn's Daggers - Vinland (Metal)

They are a matched pair of display replica daggers based on the twin short blades Thorfinn carries, built around stainless steel blades and detailed grips. The set is made for collectors, costume builds, and display, and it ships with a faux leather sheath for each blade.

His style is built on speed and angle rather than reach and mass. Short blades let a smaller, faster fighter close inside the swing of an axe or a longsword, where a heavier weapon becomes a liability. The reversed grip he uses shortens his effective range further, which is the whole point of the technique.

The pair is intentionally uneven. The black dagger measures 13" overall with a 7.5" blade, while the brown dagger measures 13.25" overall with an 8" blade. A working pair was replaced one blade at a time rather than bought as a matched set, and the size difference gives the pair that lived in look on display.

Both blades are stainless steel with a smooth satin finish. Stainless holds its appearance well in open display conditions and resists surface spotting better than carbon steel, which matters when a piece sits out on a shelf rather than in a sealed case.

No. Both blades are finished as display replicas with unsharpened edges. They are made to be handled, photographed, and mounted, not used for cutting of any kind.

Yes. Each dagger has its own faux leather sheath sized to that specific blade. The sheaths are part of the display presentation and also protect the finish during storage or transport.

No. This is a fan inspired replica set produced independently and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any studio, publisher, or rights holder.

They are sized and weighted for costume photography, including reverse grip poses. Prop policies vary by event and many venues restrict metal props regardless of edge condition, so check the specific convention's published prop policy before you travel.

Wipe the blades with a dry microfiber cloth after handling to remove skin oils, which are the main cause of surface marks over time. A light coat of mineral oil once or twice a year is enough for a display piece. Keep the daggers out of humid rooms and avoid storing them inside the sheaths long term.

They wall mount easily on small blade hooks or in a shallow case, and many collectors display the pair crossed with the sheaths included. The set is sold as a pair only. The two handle treatments are meant to be shown together rather than split.
