Ares's sword

Here is the latest addition to my collection. Ares’s, God of War, sword used on screen by Kevin Smith during the series.

This sword is made as a solid resin cast over a metal armature to prevent bending. The handle and pommel are painted in golden accents with an aged patina and the blade has a metal finish painting on it.

The pommel features the distinctive pinecone-shaped textured design, on the top there is a red faux gem signature of the God of War.

The handle is one-piece resin casted of the raised braided pattern mimicking the dark reddish leather straps. The guard highlights detailed ornamental work with acanthus leaf motifs all around.

The blade features a unique fantasy geometry. The base of the blade expands into ornate, organic flame-like or leaf-like shapes carved right above the guard before tapering into a sharp blade.

One of my favorite characters of all time, Kevin Smith tragically passed away on February 15, 2002, at the age of 38, following a severe head injury caused by an accidental fall, after successfully wrapping up his final scenes, he was waiting for a vehicle to take him back to his hotel. While walking through the studio backlot, he climbed a tower prop belonging to another production set. He lost his footing and fell roughly 9 metres (about 30 feet). He was rushed to a hospital in Beijing, where he remained in a deep coma under life support. He passed away nine days later when he was removed from life support systems. All my love for her wife, Sue, and his sons.
