Run by Someone Who Actually Cares

Relic & Reel is run by Jay Jayyusi, who spent over 30 years leading hotel operations before turning that same standard of care toward curating pieces for collectors. Every item is sourced from vetted vendors and described honestly — no exaggerated claims, no unlicensed replicas, no guessing what you're getting. If you have a question before or after your order, reach out directly at hello@relicandreel.com.

Every item is described honestly — sharp or unsharpened, real steel or polymer, exactly what it is. Handmade blades, historically-inspired armor, and licensed collectibles for people who display what they love.
