Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this sword as a Christmas gift for my Tolkien fanatic husband. Michael has loved the Lord of the Rings tales since early childhood and wanted a sword, particularly Narsil, for years. (long before Peter Jackson filmed his wonderfully respectful epics.) As per my husband, this is a faithful reproduction of the sword designed for the LOTR films, and United Cutlery's version is blessed by New line Cinema. The overall quality is quite good; with decent steel, used for the blade, quality leather handgrip and antiqued silver and 24 k' gold appointments on the pommel.
As an former SCA member, I will mention that this sword, as hand and a half bastard sword,(40 and 5/8 ") is really meant for display. The edges are blunt and it comes with a short wood placard for hanging vertically. (We plan to get additional hardware to fit ours horizontally over the hearth.)
For any practical recreationist use, I should think you could find something better suited from SCA Sources, but this is an excellent fantasy sword.
If you do plan to wear & wield Narsil, Check out the scabbard for Anduril & Narsil, also on AMAZON: This is on my husband's birthday wish list, so I can't speak to the scabbard's quality as yet.
The balance of the sword seems a little "blade- heavy" and the point is quite sharp enough to skewer carpets, toes and family pets. 'Suggest you play with it outside.
My husband is very pleased with this LOTR replica and is overjoyed to have a tangible, (read: sharp & pointy) connection with his best-loved works of literature.
