Lakshmi Swords for Ready at Dawn Studios
Ready At Dawn Studios wanted a memorable way to recognize some of their longest term employees, and what employee could say no to a sword? These are the Lakshmi Blades, a replica of the scimitar carried by the Knights of the Round in The Order: 1886. In total, we produced 27 copies
These swords measure 30″ long and are constructed from cast urethane with steel reinforcements. The blades were electroplated with rhodium to give the most realistic metal finish possible while keeping the blades dull and safe for handling. Each handle is hand painted with metallic gold chrome, then individually weathered to show age and care. The small coat-of-arms were printed in full color, then gloss painted to achieve an aged enamel look. No two swords are completely identical!
To complete the presentation, every blade was shipped in a custom built black display box bearing a name plate with the awarded employee and their hire date.
