Discover one of Middle-earth’s most legendary weapons with Orcrist, the Sword of Thorin Oakenshield, a magnificent reproduction from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
This impressive sword recreates the ancient Elven blade carried by Thorin Oakenshield, leader of the Company of Dwarves.
Originally forged by the High Elves, Orcrist became one of the most feared weapons among the Orcs of Middle-earth.
Moreover, its distinctive design reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of the ancient Elven kingdoms.
Created by United Cutlery, this detailed reproduction captures the appearance of the original filming prop built by Weta Workshop in New Zealand.
Orcrist has a remarkable history that stretches back thousands of years.
During the First Age of Middle-earth, the Elves forged the sword for use against their enemies.
Its name, Orcrist, means Goblin-cleaver in the Elven language of Sindarin.
Consequently, the weapon became a symbol of the ancient struggle between the Elves and the forces of darkness.
The sword eventually disappeared from history before resurfacing during the Third Age.
During their journey towards the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield and his companions discover a troll lair in Rhûdaur.
Inside, they find several ancient weapons, including Orcrist and Glamdring.
Thorin claims Orcrist as his own. Meanwhile, Gandalf takes possession of Glamdring.
Both swords possess a remarkable history and soon become valuable companions during their adventures.
However, the Orcs recognise Orcrist immediately and fear its legendary reputation.
They know the weapon as the Goblin-cleaver, a sword that once brought destruction to their ancestors.
This Orcrist reproduction faithfully recreates the sword seen in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Weta Workshop originally designed and produced the filming prop for the movie. Subsequently, United Cutlery recreated its distinctive appearance for collectors.
The sword measures 98cm overall and features a 66cm stainless steel blade.
An intricate runic inscription decorates the blade, reflecting the weapon’s ancient Elven origins.
Furthermore, the hilt features solid metal components, simulated gemstones and an acrylic resin grip.
The design draws inspiration from the tooth of a dragon, creating a striking contrast between the elegant blade and imposing handle.
An emblem associated with Ecthelion of the Fountain also adorns the pommel.
Together, these details capture the craftsmanship and distinctive styling of Thorin’s legendary weapon.
The Orcrist Sword comes complete with a wooden wall display plaque.
This attractive accessory allows collectors to showcase the weapon as part of their Hobbit or Lord of the Rings collection.
In addition, the sword includes a certificate of authenticity.
Whether displayed in a study, home cinema or dedicated collection room, Orcrist makes an impressive centrepiece.
Its distinctive design also makes it a memorable gift for fans of Tolkien’s legendary world.
All dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly between individual pieces.
Few weapons in The Hobbit possess the history and significance of Orcrist.
From its ancient Elven origins to its discovery by Thorin Oakenshield, the sword represents courage, leadership and adventure.
Moreover, its distinctive appearance makes it one of the most memorable weapons in the film trilogy.
This United Cutlery reproduction celebrates that legacy through its detailed craftsmanship and impressive presentation.
Whether you’re expanding an existing collection or searching for a special gift, Orcrist makes a striking tribute to Tolkien’s world.
