Engraving:
The blade is engraved with Runes reading "THIS YOU CAN TRUST ". In the early scenes of the movie Nial advises young Conan "For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. This you can trust." (Conan the Barbarian; Warner Bros. 1982)

The reverse of the blade reads: "WIELD THIS IN THE NAME OF CROM ". Homage to the Cimmerian philosophy to "Suffer no guilt ye who wield this in the name of Crom".
