Altaïr's Sword - Assasins Creed

We are honoured to introduce you to the very first installment of our highly anticipated Raven Forge Legends Collection - an officially licensed and stunning replication of Altaïr's Sword from Assasins Creed, A Ubisoft Original.

If you want to jump straight to the specs of this stunning sword read on, everything is here. If, however, you want to know how this sword came to exist, why, and what it represents, it's at the bottom in italics - scroll down.

This sword is meticulously crafted using over 200 references and hundreds of hours of gameplay from the original 2007 Assassins Creed. we reverse-engineered this sword from nothing but low res polygons and pixels to create this stunning 1-1 scale replica. We also drew heavily on our sword fighting background to not only know how this sword should look, but also the size and more importantly, how it should feel.

This is an arming sword, a knightly sword, the sword that is drawn in emergencies when subtlety has failed and armed combat is the only option. Heavy enough to parry a guard's blade, light enough to be moved with ease. The swooping eagle quillons or crossguards have been made aggressive and angular, simulating a hunting bird of prey. The signature reversed "V" on the blade below the triple fullers is meticulously hand-ground on each sword that passes through our doors. When you hold this sword, you'll know you're holding the legendary sword of Altaïr.

A bit about Raven Forge.

Let's start at the beginning for those of you who don't know anything about Raven Forge. Raven Forge is a small company from the UK, based in rainy Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales, that was founded and is run by two brothers, Sam and Tom Ive.

Sam and Tom grew up on fantasy, sci-fi and computer games, with a deep love of everything from Star trek, to Lord of the Rings, Terry Pratchett, Final fantasy,  Dungeons and dragons, and everything in between.

Before Raven Forge, Sam worked for the NHS, working with people with mental health issues and learning difficulties , and Tom worked for North Yorkshire Council, maintaining the stunning old buildings and walks of the Yorkshire Dales. In their spare time, they owned and operated a historical sword-fighting club called Tree of Shields. It was this passion for historical swords and armour that led the brothers to start what is now Raven Forge.

Fast forward 3 years, COVID-19 lockdown and hundreds of social media live streams and community events later, we reach 2022. This was to be the year they decided they were going to become the official collector's choice for TV, movie, and video game replicas, going on to later not just acquire a singular license, but collecting and curating them into one Legend Collection of epic proportions.

They can't wait to share with you the beginning of their Legend Collection and the stunning in-game swords that we're bringing to life, as well as the stories of the amazing people they have had the opportunity to work with these last few years
