Aragorn Sword Lord Of The Rings – Iconic Anduril Replica by Swordrep

Description

Andúril: The Aragorn Sword Reforged from the Shards of Narsil

Andúril, also known as the Flame of the West, is one of the most iconic swords in the fantasy world, originating from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Forged from the shards of Narsil, the sword that cut the One Ring from Sauron’s hand, Andúril was reforged for Aragorn, the rightful heir to the throne of Gondor.

Design and Craftsmanship

The replica of Andúril that swordrep offer is inspired by the film adaptations, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the legendary sword. Unlike many replicas on the market, this version closely follows the design principles of historical swords, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional integrity.

The blade of Andúril is a marvel of craftsmanship. Forged from high-carbon steel, it features a gradual tapering from the base to the tip, reminiscent of the Oakeshott type XIIIa great swords of the medieval period. The fuller runs along 75% of the blade, providing a balance of rigidity and flexibility. This design ensures that the sword is not only visually impressive but also capable of performing as a real weapon.

The blade’s thickness starts at 6.5mm at the base, tapering to 4.5mm at the midpoint, and 3.2mm just before the tip. This distal taper, combined with the profile taper (44mm at the base to 28mm at the tip), contributes to a well-balanced sword that is both lively in hand and powerful in cutting. The sword’s weight is around 2 kg, with a point of balance approximately 4 inches from the guard.

Hilt and Guard

The hilt of Andúril is designed with a clear nod to its Elven origins, featuring a crossguard that elegantly curves towards the blade. Unlike the original movie prop, this replica opts for a more functional design with slightly thinner quillons, chamfered to prevent discomfort during use. The central plaque bears the Elvish inscription, translating to “I am Andúril, who was Narsil, sword of Elendil. Let the thralls of Mordor flee me.”

The pommel is a rounded scent-stopper, similar in style to those found on late medieval swords. It’s solid, providing the necessary counterbalance to the blade, ensuring that the sword feels responsive and controlled in the hand.

Customization and Modifications

swordrep version of Andúril is designed for those who appreciate both the fantasy and historical aspects of sword design. However, we understand that some enthusiasts may wish to make modifications. The sword’s design allows for customization, whether it’s changing the blade profile to a leaf-shaped design, altering the weight distribution, or even commissioning a completely different hilt and guard design.

For those seeking the most accurate film replica, we recommend commissioning a swordsmith like Peter Lyon, who crafted the original movie prop. However, our replica offers an excellent balance between functionality, aesthetic appeal, and price to make it a worthy addition to any collection.
