Sting – Frodo’s Sword – The Lord of the Rings

Own one of Middle-earth’s most recognisable weapons with Sting – Frodo’s Sword, a beautifully detailed decorative reproduction inspired by The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Originally carried by Bilbo Baggins during his adventures in The Hobbit, Sting later passed into the hands of his nephew, Frodo, becoming an essential companion on his perilous journey to destroy the One Ring.

Featuring an intricately decorated 420 stainless steel blade, an antique-finished metal hilt and traditional Elven-inspired detailing, this impressive replica captures the distinctive appearance of the legendary sword.

Measuring 56cm in overall length, Sting makes an attractive addition to any collection of Tolkien memorabilia.

The Legendary History of Sting

Sting’s story begins long before the events of The Lord of the Rings.

Forged by the Elves of Gondolin during the First Age of Middle-earth, the blade survived for thousands of years before being discovered by Bilbo Baggins and his companions.

During their journey towards the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo acquired the weapon from a troll hoard alongside the legendary swords Glamdring and Orcrist.

Although little more than a dagger to larger warriors, Sting was perfectly proportioned for a Hobbit.

Bilbo subsequently named the blade Sting following his encounter with the giant spiders of Mirkwood.

From Bilbo to Frodo Baggins

Years later, Bilbo presented Sting to Frodo as he prepared to continue his dangerous journey towards Mordor.

Alongside a coat of mithril armour, the sword became one of Frodo’s most valuable possessions.

Sting possessed a remarkable quality: its blade glowed blue whenever Orcs or Goblins were nearby.

This magical warning proved invaluable during the Fellowship’s travels through the dangerous lands of Middle-earth.

Throughout his adventures, Frodo carried Sting as a symbol of courage, friendship and the extraordinary role played by Hobbits in the fate of the world.

Authentic Elven-Inspired Detailing

This decorative Sting reproduction faithfully captures the distinctive design associated with Frodo’s legendary sword.

The 38cm blade is manufactured from 420 stainless steel and features an intricate Elven vine design inspired by the weapon’s appearance in The Lord of the Rings films.

The solid metal guard and pommel feature an attractive antique metal finish, complementing the blade’s decorative detailing.

A carefully shaped plastic handle completes the design, recreating the distinctive proportions and appearance of the original film weapon.

Measuring approximately 56cm overall, Sting offers an impressive combination of intricate decoration and compact dimensions.

An Attractive Wall Display

Sting comes complete with a wooden display plaque, allowing collectors to showcase this iconic sword.

A certificate of authenticity is also included, providing an additional finishing touch for enthusiasts of Tolkien’s legendary world.

Whether displayed in a study, home cinema or dedicated collection room, Sting makes an attractive addition to any collection of fantasy memorabilia.

Its distinctive appearance also makes it an excellent companion piece to other legendary swords from Middle-earth, including Gandalf’s Glamdring and Aragorn’s Andúril.
