Lord of the Rings is perhaps one of the most watched movies of all time.  Written by J. R. R. Tolkien several decades ago but was only made into a movie this past decade.  Not only is the movie well-made but the movie props were amazing – especially the lord of the Rings medieval swords.  A lot of the LOTR enthusiasts collect these swords and attend conference and hobbit meetings.  If you are not into miniatures, you may be interested in Lord of the Ring replica swords.

Totally like the real ones in terms of design and make, these swords probably have the best medieval sword concept.  They show heroic personality and fearlessness of the characters.  The swords which were patterned in Lord of the Rings are considered unique and almost antique collection – they are considered as the best swords ever designed in history.

One of the most familiar LOTR swords is the LOTR Sting – Sword of Frodo, which was originally carried by Bilbo Baggins and later gave it to Frodo.  The most interesting thing about this sword is it glows when it senses that the Orcs are near.  Another popular character of the book is Legolas with his LOTR Legolas Fighting Knives; dual wielding swords with soft sweeping curves which harkens the natural world.

Another well-made LOTR sword is the LOTR Hadhafang – Sword of Arwen, the elven sword which once belonged to Idril, the elevn princess.  Hadhafang means Throng Cleaver in elven tongue.  One more LOTR sword favorite is the famous sword LOTR Narsil – Sword of King Elendil, which was shattered when it fell during the balltle of Sauron.  This is the same sword used to cut the ring off Sauron’s finger.  Narsil was reforged later as Anduril.

The Narsil/Anduril may be the most important of all LOTR swords featured in the movie, it is the mightiest of all weapons and it carries the plot device – like the One Ring.  But one should not limit their collection to this specific sword.  Try to collect all LOTR swords. Much like the One Ring, it needs the Rings of Power to conquer Middle Earth.
