📋 About This Mod
Description
My first weapon made using Blender instead of 3DS Max. I'm still not very familiar with Blender's interface, but slowly getting there.
Two-handed version only this time, and no scabbard. I couldn't be bothered...
This can be crafted at a forge with the steel smithing perk.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 421 endorsements and over 11,000 downloads.
- Simple craftable weapon that fits into the base game's smithing progression.
- Author Billyro is known for quality weapon mods, and this one uses modern tools like Substance Painter.
⚠️ Cons
- No scabbard and only a two-handed version, so if you wanted a one-handed or scabbard-equipped sword, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be actively maintained for newer Skyrim versions.
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter smithing recipes or weapon stats.
For Skyrim players who want a new, lore-friendly two-handed sword to craft early in the game. If you're a collector of Billyro's weapon mods or just need a fresh blade for your warrior build, this fits. Skip if you're looking for a one-handed sword or fancy scabbard animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Steel Smithing perk before trying to craft the sword at a forge.
- If using Vortex, use the Mod Manager Install button to avoid manual file placement errors.
- Place the mod in your load order after other weapon mods to avoid conflicts.
