More specifically, the Polish swordsmith Kaer Morhen Forge appears to craft and sell steel and silver swords, among other Witcher accessories. They claim swords are only made on commission, however, which means the price can vary depending on various factors. “Depending on the model and the details, the swords range from 400 euro for a basic one, advanced โ€“ 500, supreme โ€“ 700 to master swords at 900 euro,” the FAQ reads. For reference, that’s around $440 at the lowest to $1,000 at the highest, and that’s not even accounting for runes, scabbards, and the like.
