Valkyrie’s Sword
This posting has been a long time coming… Marvel commissioned this custom sword for their Valkyrie character (Tessa Thompson) back in 2017. It was originally used during the filming of “Avengers – Endgame”, however those action scenes didn’t make it into the finally cut. After more years of waiting, the sword has shown up in the new Thor movie, “Love and Thunder”. Only a few brief scenes show the sword in use and, unfortunately, it’s just the low-detail, plastic cast version.
I hope my honesty doesn’t offend anyone, but, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t bother. It is a very poorly done, rainbow-flag-colored, super “woke” mess. Complete waste of time like most of what Hollywood vomits up these days.

Mazikeen’s Karambits?
Not quite; these ones are better, in fact. The bottom edge is a full-length blade instead of the partial blade of the on-screen knives. In keeping with the undulating form of that portion on the originals, however, these ones are done as a sort of wide serrations. Also, sculpted from 3/8ths inch steel, the handle sections are thicker and fill the hand better than the originals.
As is known by the hundreds of people who have requested the “Lucifer” karambits from me over the years, I cannot reproduce them due to the “do not replicate” contract I signed with Fox when I made the knives for the series. I believe the design changes in these new ones should exempt them from that contract (hopefully).
These two were made for and sold to a special collector.

An interesting one from the past.
Five or six years ago, Marvel commissioned this blade for The Avengers, Infinite Wars, I think it was. It was going to be wielded by the Corvus character as his secondary weapon, but it didn’t make it onto the big screen, as far as I know; probably due to the change in plans from Corvus being done as an eight-foot-tall CGI character to being played by an actual actor (the knife is large). Maybe it will make an appearance someday, though.

Sylvie’s Sword
A year-and-a-half ago, Marvel contacted me with the request to make this custom sword for the Loki series. The timeline was tight and the specifications narrow. It was an intense project; over 250 hours in 19 days.
I haven’t seen the series yet, but I’m aware the sword has appeared and therefore I can finally post it here. The sword belongs to the character called Sylvie. (The Loki series is on Disney +)
The sword is 5160 steel with some interesting chemical patina colorations. The handle is comprised of eight layers of copper to allow for weight reduction hollowing and the fitting of the “stone” parts. All tightly rivetted together with many steel pins to create a seamless finish. The sculptural aspects of the handle were done by hand and closely followed the required design. Gold-plated and antiqued finish.
