Conan the Barbarian Swords
The two great blades of the 1982 classic — the Atlantean sword Conan pulls from the tomb of a forgotten king, and the Father’s Sword forged in the film’s opening. Two of the most influential sword designs ever put on screen, hand-assembled and inspected before dispatch.
The Atlantean sword shaped fantasy blades for forty years — the broad double-edged blade, the antler-like quillons, the runes down the fuller. Alongside it, the Father’s Sword from the film’s forge-side opening: the steel that begins the whole story.

2 blades available — each hand-assembled and inspected before dispatch.
The Steel of Cimmeria
Conan the Barbarian opens at a forge and never really leaves it. The Riddle of Steel — what a blade is worth against the hand that wields it — runs through the whole film, and its two swords carry the answer between them.
The Atlantean Sword
Pulled from the tomb of a long-dead king, the Atlantean is the blade Conan carries through the film — broad, double-edged, with antler-like quillons and runes down the fuller. Designed by Ron Cobb, it is one of the most imitated fantasy swords ever made; four decades of barbarian blades descend from it.
The Father’s Sword
Forged on screen in the film’s opening, the Father’s Sword is the steel of Conan’s village — the blade whose loss sets the story in motion, and which returns at the film’s climax in the hands of its taker. Displayed as a pair, the two swords tell the whole story.
