Knight’s Collection – Grandmaster’s Cat School Sword

Inspired by the Grandmaster’s Wolven Sword and the swords of the Cat School in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this sword is no plain wallhanger or cosplay prop but is instead a fully functional fantasy sword not only can cut and slice targets, but do so with agility and speed. Its point of balance is only about an inch forward of the guard so the whole sword pivots on a dime with ease and can accelerate and rapidly reverse direction and flow under control. It does all this while looking gorgeous in its design and execution making it an ideal sword for collectors and enthusiasts who want a lively sword to anchor their collection and one that not only looks great on display, but can then seamlessly go outdoors for a bottle and tatami cutting session to hone one’s skills.

The 30.5 inch blade is sharp right from the box and well-tempered. Crafted from 1065 high carbon steel it has the necessary flex to function as a real sword unlike more brittle stainless steel wall hangers. The complex ring-hilt guard and pommel are finely cast from steel and the 7 inch long grip with a cord wrap gives its bearer a sure grip with plenty of cutting leverage. Paired with the sword is a wooden scabbard with a finished binding of stitched faux leather and a metal protective chape.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the swords of the Cat School are designed to reflect the fast, aggressive fighting style associated with the elusive School of the Cat. Both the steel and silver variants feature sleek, narrow blades with elegant curves and finely detailed crossguards that give them a more refined and agile appearance compared to the heavier-looking gear of other witcher schools. The Cat School swords emphasize speed, precision, and lethal efficiency, complementing armor sets that favor mobility and quick strikes over brute force. Their polished fittings, feline-inspired motifs, and balanced proportions make them some of the most visually distinctive witcher weapons in the game. Players often associate the Cat School swords with an acrobatic combat style focused on rapid attacks, evasive movement, and critical hits, perfectly matching the reputation of the Cat School’s witchers as deadly and unpredictable swordsmen.
