Tales of Goblin Rex Sword: A Report on the Northern Islands
Sire,
The Northmen are fierce warriors and while much ground has been made in contesting their hold on our lands, much effort is also required to ensure our sovereign rights are respected in this area of the world.
To the point, we take recently captured a warrior – the last survivor in an ambush we set – who told us that he came from an isle off the coast of Tuath De. If you think our previous conversation, this is quite far from the lands the Empire is contesting, and and so our scouts have rarely been able to travel in this expanse, much less map it for future conquest. Suffice to say that this warrior was more afraid of what he had encountered previously than the states. When pressed by our very convincing torturers, he kept muttering the words "Goblins" and "Goblin King."
Surely any true kingdom would annals in our universal mapping project, and hence we brushed it off as ravings from a lunatic. Simply there was something in his eyes and vocalization that seemed to express truthful terror, such that I had been bothered by it for the by few days and had piddling slumber.
Past reason of this, and mindful of whatever additional expense, I sent off 2 of my ablest scouts to rail where this warrior had come from and discern the veracity of his ramblings. Information technology has been more than than a week, and I have not heard from them over again. As it stands, I cannot lose these two men for they know the lay of the country and take been quite instrumental in our current campaign against the Northward. By midday tomorrow, I plan to set out on an trek to recover them, ideally live.
The residual of my command will continue towards our rendezvous near Grimmerheimer Castle. They are led by my most capable lieutenant. I will update you once I have confirmed the condition of my men. If there is indeed such a thing as a Goblin Rex, I will ensure that he bends the knee joint before the Royal Court. That, or I shall return with a few thousand Goblin heads.
With utmost devotion,
Vestivus Am Goltred
Commander of the third Northern Aeultian Heavy Infantry
Introduction
The Goblin King Sword was ane of the bonus winning entries from round one of the Fantasy Sword Design Contest we held in the summer of 2017.
Designed past SBG fellow member Croccifixio in the Philippines, his design was brought to life by Chris Palmer at Scorpion Swords in the USA - and in this hands on review past the designer himself, we go a no concur barred evaluation to come across how close it came to his original concept.
And then without whatever further ado, here is his hands on review of this piece of fully functional sword art, the Goblin Male monarch Sword.
The Goblin King Sword
Review by the Designer, Croccifixio, Manila, The Philippines
Cheers to our e'er-generous admin, Paul Southren, Sword Buyers Guide forum members were able to enter a new fantasy sword pattern competition. I submitted dozens of designs, and as luck would have it my Vorpal Sword design was chosen as role of the first batch of swords to exist made by Blade Civilization International here in my native Philippines! I was happy – quite an understatement actually – and content with my gains. But afterward on, Paul announced that another design of mine (originally "Jaws," now "Goblin Male monarch Sword") was also chosen to exist part of another batch of swords produced this fourth dimension by Chris of Scorpion Swords.
I've always been a big fan of Chris and his designs so I was doubly happy – again, an understatement. I was floored, stoked, absolutely excited, and deeply honoured because not only was I to receive the prototype, but these would go into production and other people could buy swords that I designed!
Original pattern submission:
Little did I know that the 2d batch of swords would be churned out commencement, and that I would get the Goblin King Sword within the month of September... I tell you, Chris is so fast at turnaround time, he deserves your business. If in that location's a sword yous want made that fits the aesthetics you've seen of Scorpion Swords, pull the trigger.
With that out of the way, let's become right into the review:
Stats:Overall Length: 32.v inches
Blade Length: 22 inches
Grip Length: 8 inches
Width at the widest part: ii & 3/8th inches
Thickness: uniform 5mm
The final sword pattern deviated a bit from the original, turning this into a one handed weapon with enough grip to employ ii hands in a compression. The sword itself is fabricated just as I designed, and this loyalty to the design is quite important for me for a number of reasons.
Modified design:
Firstly, as I alluded to in my entry, the unabridged sword is based upon the aesthetic entreatment of a shark. I've been a big fan of sharks since I was 4 years onetime.
Hence, each aspect was meant to show the streamlined, dangerous shape of my favorite noon predator. The black/white segmentation was basically the white underside and dark top of a Great White. The dorsal fin became a bit of a fishhook style lug at the back. The consistent bend of the belly led to the mouth/tip, which was to be the most dangerous part of the sword. The gill lines were there for more often than not aesthetics, and the integral guard were the fins. The tail was both a shark's tail and a glass-breaker/head bashing pommel. Of form, I wanted information technology all to be integral for strength and consistency.
Finally, the grips were there and designed more often than not with comfort and aesthetics in mind. Nothing quite like a nice sandwich grip with 3 pins.
Secondly, I wanted this sword to exist a badass SHTF/zombie apocalypse weapon that had some elements taken from original swords. The bract style itself actually exists in certain parts of the Philippines and was used both for agriculture (cutting down tall grass, cane, etc.) and fighting. The profile getting wider at the tip is akin to many antique and modernistic Panay/Aklan Tenegre (I take one antique sample), Moro Pira (by and large the curve of the belly and the extended clip point), and lends itself extremely well to devastating chops. The theory is you could just chop a coconut in half perpendicular to its fibers with simply 1 swing of the blade.
The handle is besides a reverse Moro Kampilan pattern. I was thinking of making it the usual Kampilan pommel which rides up into your arms but since I wanted it to take a sharp indicate, it would probably exist also unsafe, so I but reversed it.
Finally, I imagined the sword to be used by "bad guys." Not necessarily evil, simply dark anti-hero individuals or vicious peoples who were all nearly fighting and edges and not actually concerned with aesthetics. The simplicity of the build alludes to that (no separate guard, pommel, complex hilts, layered hilts, threading, peening, etc.)
I merely wanted a pure weapon, and I got it.
So where does this exit usa?
See for yourself.
Every bit information technology arrived this morning
In the hands of Chris:
Of course there is inherent bias in what I've written, but this is honestly such a badass sword that I don't really call back it affected what I wrote. If you desire a sword that simply screams "kill" (h2o bottles and tatami mats, of course), this is the sword for you. If you want something a Goblin King would deport to war, heck this is DEFINITELY the sword for you. Get i and estimate for yourself. I'm simply actually happy - quite an understatement.
Heavy Destructive Testing!

If you are enlightened of Scorpion Swords, you will know that Chris makes TOUGH blades. And non only a piffling bit tough, we are talking hard core - about indestructible tough..
But will this toughness extend to an eclectic Fantasy sword design like this ane?
We had our resident independent sword tester, Jason Woodard, put this sword through its paces - upward to and including testing on solid granite blocks that he has broken many swords on..
But not this one.. Information technology really does have to be seen to exist believed..
