Here’s a link to my Etsy shop!
Or you can send me an email at inkbladestudios@gmail.com to ask about buying a blade. Don’t worry, I’m not scary and I will be happy to answer your questions as soon as I can.
Here are some custom orders I’ve made before:
Remiel
For those who like getting up-close and personal with their foes! Remiel is a dagger measuring 33cm in length.
Tzorial
Tzorial is a leaf-blade dagger with a rounded pommel. As you can see, with a little creativity, there are many ways a Seraph Blade can be customised! This dagger is 37cm long and 6cm wide.
Clariel
Clariel is a short sword based on the Seraph Blade that Clary wields in the first season of the Shadowhunters TV show. It is 50cm long by 7.5 cm wide. The basic model (sans light and leather wrap) is 231.64 EUROS (plus shipping)
Elissa
Elissa, also known as “The Rose Sword” is a Seraph Blade acquired a nickname for its thorny shape. The Shadowhunter who wields it says it an ice sword. I can certainly see the resemblance! It measures 45cm long by 10cm wide.
Jahoel
Jahoel is a 44cm short sword. It is my personal favourite design. Sleek and slender, with a wicked scorpion tail spike on the pommel.
Sarathiel
Sarathiel is a 45cm short sword. In design, it’s quite similar to Jahoel but it has a rounded pommel and a thicker blade.
Azrael
Azrael is a 75cm longsword. Despite its asymmetrical profile, it is actually double-edged which makes its crafting somewhat tricky.
A bit on the heavy side to wield, but gives extra reach to damage demons from afar. And they certainly don’t expect that double edge coming at them on the back-swing!
Gabriel
Gabriel is a longsword measuring 56cm in length. If its shape looks familiar, that’s because it was inspired by Jace’s blade from The Mortal Instruments movie. It is the first kind of Seraph Blade I created.
Michael
Behold the behemoth of the Studio: Michael! This longsword measures 90cm in length and is quite heavy. If you’re thinking of carrying this bad boy into battle, you’d best start working out your arms.
The design is based on the longswords from the Shadowhunters TV series.
Ouriel
If Michael is the longest, Ouriel is certainly the widest. Its wicked recurve spike puts it at a whopping 10cm wide. At 59cm long, Ouriel falls into the longsword category.
Sariel
This long sword was inspired by the one wielded by Isabelle Lightwood in the Mortal Instruments movie. True to character, it is both deadly and elegant. Sariel measures 78cm by 7cm.
Spinner
This 53cm gladius was originally conceived as a Dark Elf priestess’ blade. The basic longsword, however, is perfectly capable of serving as a Seraph Blade if desired.
Zaapiel
Zaapiel was modelled after the Chinese ring sword. The rings were meant to distract an opponent and ruin the edge of their sword upon blocking. This ostentatious blade is perfect for the Shadowhunter who truly fears nothing. Zaapiel measures 55cm by 10cm.
It Glows!
How do you hide an LED in a crystal clear sword? Very carefully. The LED option for my blades requires a hilt cover of some kind. I offer Leather, Faux-Leather, or wood handles.
Engraved Runes
Designs can be carved into leather and inlaid with paint. This results in a robust image that will not wear off with time.

Assuming one already has the required machinery, roughly how much would making one cost?
LikeLike
That depends on the size of the blade you want and the cost of obtaining the industrial acrylic. Have you looked at acrylic manufacturers in your area? If you want lighting, you will need to check the prices of small LED lights at your local retailers, as well as Sculpy, Fimo, or other forms of high-quality sculpting clay for the fittings. Lastly, you will have to seek out a place to buy leather for the handles. I wish I could give a more concrete answer than that, but having moved from Canada to Finland, I can vouch for the fact that prices for the materials vary wildly depending on where you live. I got acrylic end-pieces in Montreal for about ten dollars a sword. Here in Helsinki, I have to buy a full meter of the stuff which runs me roughly 200 euros!

Yes. 3-4 weeks of crafting, depending on what style is desired and how many other orders I have on the table. I have a maximum of 4 crafting slots open at any given time so that things don’t get TOO bogged down. Then 6-14 business days for the sword to get to its destination. I’m working on developing crafting methods to shave down the time it takes to make the swords so that people can get them sooner. I’m so, SO grateful for people being patient. ^_^

I am a big fan of mortal istrumemrs, and the prospect of making my own seraph blade is Angel-sent. I do have a question.
Would you recommend any other material besides acrylic? Not only do I have a tight budget, but I can’t seem to find a store that sells the right thickness.
LikeLiked by 1 person
You could possibly use another type of plastic like polystyrene. The prices and availability of different plastics varies wildly from place to place. I pay about 10X more for my PMMA acrylic here than I did when I lived in Canada. 😦 It’s possible to cast the Seraph Blades in clear resin if you have that skill or the willingness to learn it. Mould making and casting is a bit tricky and I’m not super good at it yet but it’s another way to get what you want. Resin will not be as clear or as strong as Plexiglass (PMMA acrylic) but if you can get it to cure really well with no micro-bubbles or imperfections in it, I think you could get it nearly the same as mine. I’m pretty sure you’ll need a small pressure chamber to get a perfect curing.
Hmm, are there any industrial plastics manufacturers nearby? Try looking for companies that make signs for advertisements and displays for shops. Those plastics have to be thick and resilient to resist harsh weather as well as mean people throwing rocks/beer bottles through the sign and breaking it. Companies that make signs typically have some odds and ends left over from various orders. They may be willing to sell the cut-offs to you cheaply. If they say ‘no’ try another company. Eventually someone will say ‘yes’. They would rather get some money for a waste product they were going to throw out anyway. 🙂 Don’t give up. Persistence pays off!
