The two most prominent swords in the movie Conan the Barbarian (CTB) were the "Father's Sword", which was the sword made by Conan's father in the beginning of the film, and the "Atlantean Sword" sword, which Conan found in a cave and used throughout the movie. This Atlantean replica sword is overall length of ~ 40.5 inches. The actual handle is leather wrapped and is 7 inches long; the handle extends ~ 6.5 inches up along the blade above the guard, which is a very unusual design for a sword. The idea was to make a sword so that someone could reach forward and hold the blade above the guard, but a real sword that was meant for fighting would have just had a longer handle. In any case, the design gives a unique and very interesting look. This sword also has runic hieroglyphs carved along its blade; blade made with 440 steel. Blade guard is 7" wide. Weight is 10lbs. The sword comes with the plaque.
