United Cutlery The Hobbit Sting Sword of Bilbo Baggins

In the Third Age of Middle-earth, the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins was unexpectedly swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo found himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. In this harrowing journey Bilbo and his Company of Dwarves came upon a troll lair in Rhûdaur. There they found two Elven swords, Glamdring, and Orcrist, and a knife. Bilbo claimed the knife for himself, and it was more of a sword to someone of his stature. He wielded the sword through most of the quest, famously using it against the Giant Spiders of Mirkwood to save the Company of Dwarves. After Bilbo had slain his first spider he declared, "I will give you a name, and I shall call you Sting." This authentically detailed replica is a reproduction of the actual filming prop. The Sting sword is 22 ½" overall, featuring a 15 3/8" stainless steel blade and, solid metal hilt parts, and an intricately detailed vine adorning the grip. It is presented with a wood wall display featuring graphic motifs from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and includes a certificate of authenticity.

I got the swooord as of today (9/25/13). I love it... it's a very detailed sword. Extremely light also. Very good for someone of my age. :D

[rocketman]

I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it...

[WarriorGaming]

I'm getting this for my birthday + the scabbard :D

[travtrav]

"Erber?" "Smog?" C'mon man.

[vibebros]

Bilbo didn't claim the sword for himself he was told to take it by gandalf

[spider-fat]

Did anybody try doing sword fights with this?

[zeldachannel]

Cool sword--it reminds me of Link's sword from The Legend of Zelda

[xsailor]

Can the replicas of Sting withstand the stress of battle? It is strong enough to be in a real fight?

[provablegrub]

I'm thinking about getting a United Cutlery lotr or hobbit sword, what would you recommend

[Rockmonix]

I see that on the guard there appears to be bubbles or little holes, is that intentional or some kind of flaw?

[theswaggeringwombat]

I personally think that 22 inches is too long to be a "short sword" for a hobbit they were roughly 3 feet 5 inches tall and to have a twenty two inch blade is more like a claymore than a short sword and have you ever heard of a 22" long dagger it should be around 15" inches just saying

[stevestudios]

i got a gold sting and it was 20 dollars

[xXmarsmannenXx]

i really want this but i can't afford it D:

[Draconis]

The hand guard has no details like the Lord of the rings trilogy version has.
What's up with that?
It's just flat metal.

[AedansOutdoors]

am i the only one who was really annoyed with the way he said erebor he said erbor

[sethytuttle]

I'm 13 with the perfect amount of money

[kczcrocker]

the Lord of the rings version looks way better

[mikey]

They really need to get someone to do these reviews that knows what they're talking about in terms of the movies. He pronounces everything from the movie wrong. It just goes to show me that he knows nothing about anything. I love you BUDK but, come on..

[whitz-d]

It bothers me that the sword used in The Hobbit is different from The Lord of the Rings, they are supposed to be the same

[TeamTommyDragon]

Lol its so funny that you cant say erabor! learn to speak!
