Picked, not tested. Everything here is something I would buy, chosen on specs, makers and reputation rather than hands-on reviews. Some links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you; it never decides what makes the list. How we pick
There are hundreds of “Lord of the Rings swords” for sale. Most are cheap knock-offs. These five are the licensed, full-size United Cutlery replicas on our LOTR & Fantasy page: the blades worth hanging on a wall.
One thing to know before you buy: these are display pieces. They are real steel and heavy, but they are not made for sparring. Check your local laws on owning and shipping blades, and keep them out of reach of kids.
Prices were checked on October 9–10, 2026, at Kult of Athena. Swords sell out around the holidays, so check stock before you plan a gift around one.
Andúril, Sword of King Elessar
The sword that was broken, reforged for Aragorn in The Return of the King. This is the Museum Collection version, the most detailed of the five and the one to buy if you only buy one.
Andúril, Sword of King Elessar — Museum Collection (UC3516)
The Sword of Strider
The plain, battered ranger’s blade Aragorn carries before he takes up Andúril. Less famous, more personal, and a favourite with fans who love the Bree-to-Weathertop Aragorn.
Glamdring, Sword of Gandalf
The Foe-hammer, found in the troll hoard in The Hobbit and carried by Gandalf through both trilogies.
Glamdring, Sword of Gandalf (UC1265)
Orcrist, Sword of Thorin Oakenshield
Glamdring’s twin from the same troll hoard, the “Goblin-cleaver” Thorin carries to the Lonely Mountain. It pairs well on a wall with Glamdring.
Orcrist, Sword of Thorin Oakenshield
Sting, Sword of Frodo Baggins
The little Elven blade that glows blue when orcs are near. It is the smallest and cheapest of the five, and the easiest to find a spot for.
