26in Fafnir Fixed Short Sword Ashwood Carved Handle Damascus Blade DM5044

The SZCO 26in Fafnir Fixed Short Sword is built as a functional, visually striking blade that speaks to traditional craftsmanship and modern durability. At 26 inches overall, it’s compact enough for controlled handling yet long enough to deliver authoritative cutting power. This short sword is meant for collectors, outdoorsmen, reenactment enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a blade shaped with both purpose and artistry.

Its 18-inch Damascus blade is the centerpiece—hand-forged in a firestorm pattern that immediately sets it apart. Layered steel creates natural strength and resilience, while the firestorm design enhances both visual depth and cutting character. The blade includes detailed filework along the spine, giving the sword a custom, handcrafted feel that reflects careful bench work rather than mass production. This combination of pattern welding and fine detailing creates a blade that’s as capable as it is beautiful.

The handle showcases ashwood shaped and carved to provide a secure, organic grip with natural warmth. Ash is known for its durability and shock resistance, making it an ideal material for a fixed sword meant for real use. Bone spacers add contrast and old-world character, while a steel guard anchors the handle with reliable protection and balance. The entire build comes together with a focus on comfort, aesthetic distinction, and practical stability during handling.

A leather sheath is included, offering reliable protection for both transport and storage. The sheath’s construction supports field carry while shielding the Damascus blade from exposure and abrasion. Whether displayed, carried, or used in controlled cutting environments, the sheath completes the sword with a traditional and rugged presentation.

The Fafnir Short Sword embodies the blend of artistry and performance that many enthusiasts look for in a mid-length blade. It’s a striking collectible, a functional cutting tool, and a piece that reflects the handwork and heritage of classic blade-making. From its carved ashwood handle to its firestorm-pattern Damascus and fileworked spine, every element contributes to a sword built for strength, style, and longevity.
