Lord of the Rings Replica Swords

The Lord Of The Ring movies, directed by Peter Jackson, shot mostly on location in his native New Zealand, have become instant classics, their critical and financial success making sword & sorcery movies acceptable again in Hollywood. The films dedication to practical authenticity when it came to swords and armour, coupled with Oscar winning production design, have created a range of replica weapons that should hold a place in any movie fans collection.

Alongside the release of the films themselves came a large selection of replica weapons and armour, officially licensed, from United Cutlery. What makes these items truly special is that they were made with the same care and attention that was lavished on the actual props, in many cases made using the same moulds!

Heading the line-up is the sword of the Kings of Gondor, Narsil, seen in the opening scenes of the first movie, cutting the all-important ring from Sauron’s finger. This is the broken blade that is re-forged by the elf lord Elrond in the final film, becoming Anduril, wielded by Aragorn in the third films climactic battle sequences. Replica’s are available of both versions, and are both magnificent, at over 50 inches long, with high quality stainless steel blades, antique silver and gold highlights and a leather wrapped grip. An equally impressive leather scabbard is available that fits either sword.

Also available are replica’s of the two important elvish swords worn by the fellowship; Glamdring, the sword wielded by Gandalf, and Sting, given by Bilbo Baggins to his nephew Frodo. In the movies these swords warned the adventurers of the presence of orcs by giving off a magical blue glow. Again, both blades are modelled from the actual movie props, with blades of high-quality stainless steel, with Glamdring possessing a leather wrapped grip. Leather scabbards are available separately for both weapons.

Many of the other heroes weapons featured on the films are also on available, including Aragorn’s original sword, the sword worn by Boromir, King Theoden and Eowyn’s swords and Arwen’s elvish blade. Again, the quality is uniforms excellent, with each sword sold with a presentation stand or wall plaque, and a certificate of authenticity.

The villains iconic weapons are not missed out either, with the terrible Ringwraith’s blades, and the brutish scimitars of the Uruk-Hai orcs also available, made in the same fashion and to the same quality as the hero’s blades, although, obviously not quite so pretty!

Finally, for those looking for the ultimate in quality, United Cutlery manufactured a small number of “Museum Quality” replicas of Sting, Glamdring and Anduril. These were hand-forged from carbon-steel in Toledo Spain, and come with additional certificates of authenticity signed by none other than famed artist and production designer for the films, John Howe.
