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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Length: 990mm\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 800mm\u003cbr\u003eGrip Length: 120mm\u003cbr\u003eGuard Width: 230mm\u003cbr\u003eBlade Width: 42mm\u003cbr\u003eBlade Thickness: 4mm\u003cbr\u003eTang: Full\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1.1KG\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: 3CR13 - Tempered steel \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Blunt - Prop replica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA bit about Raven Forge.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLet's start at the beginning for those of you who don't know anything about Raven Forge.
