Finn's golden sword of battle/Scarlet

The golden sword (also known as Scarlet) is Finn's weapon of choice throughout most of seasons one and two. The blade is dented, chipped, and dirty. Its hilt is black with some worn leather grip-straps and a red gemstone in the pommel. In "Business Time," the Business Men polish and sharpen the sword, making this episode the only one in which the golden sword appears to be in excellent condition.

In "The Real You," the golden sword passes through the Bubble creator and becomes four-dimensional. When Finn uses the 4-D golden sword to attack the black hole he created, Finn's golden sword is sent into the Cotton Candy Forest by the explosion. Finn is without a sword until "Mystery Train," which could mean he lost it after the explosion.

In the video game Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! this sword has a name, Scarlet and Jake refers to it as "she."

Root sword

In "Mystery Train," Finn obtained the root sword (the name is non-canonical), which became his primary weapon. He finds the sword on the caboose of the train and uses it to attack The conductor. He next uses it against the Monster in the beginning of "Belly of the Beast." It is seen briefly in "Mortal Recoil," when Finn throws it at Ice King, "Conquest of Cuteness," and in "Jake vs. Me-Mow." He keeps it in a makeshift pocket on the side of his backpack. It can be seen again in the Issue 1 (although the comics are non-canonical).

The sword gets its name from its root like handle, that seems to be comprised of 2 main "roots" spiraled around one another. The actual blade is a slightly pinkish tone of silver, double sided, and in good condition with the exception of a small chip on one of the blade's sides.

Demon sword

The Demon Sword first appears in the episode "Dad's Dungeon," replacing the root sword as his main weapon from thereon. In the episode, Finn and Jake go to Joshua's dungeon to retrieve Jake's family sword. At the end of the dungeon Finn finds it encased in locks and stone. He breaks it loose and uses it to fight the final monster of the dungeon. The sword is infused with Demon Blood, which causes Kee-Oth to sporadically appear and plead to Joshua (and later, Jake, thinking he's Joshua) for the return of his blood. Kee-Oth is easily banished away using the spell "Kee Oth Rama Pancake." In "Return to the Nightosphere," Finn spins it in front of the blood mist cloud, and hits Marceline with it, thinking she is Hunson Abadeer. The sword also shows immunity to Marceline's blood mist cloud blasts. In "Daddy's Little Monster," Finn can be seen holding it throughout the video files on Jake's phone. In "Beyond this Earthly Realm," Finn uses it to slash one of the heads from The Dead One. In "Gotcha!" he uses it to save Lumpy Space Princess from the Mirror Finns. It also appeared in "All the Little People" and "Puhoy." In "Vault of Bones" it is shown to be fire-immune. Finn reluctantly broke it in the episode "Play Date" and released the blood inside.
