Item Description Up for sale is a replica of Frodo's knife, the Sting, a sword forged for the Elven King Turgon in the First Age. For several thousand years it went missing, until Gandalf and Bilbo found it (along with the sword Glamdring and the sword Orcrist) in a troll cave. Bilbo then claimed it for himself. Like Orcrist and Glamdring , Sting glowed blue in the presence of Orcs. Bilbo gave Sting to Frodo just before the Fellowship of the Ring sets off from Rivendell. When Frodo was betrayed at the pass of Cirith Ungol, Samwise Gamgee saved it from being captured, but later returned the weapon to Frodo. Gollum, who disliked anything made by Elves, was afraid of Sting. This fear helped Bilbo when he confronted Gollum under the Misty Mountains in The Hobbit. It also helped Frodo to tame Gollum temporarily in The Lord of the Rings. Sting was exceptionally sharp. Bilbo manages to thrust it without effort deep into a wooden beam at Rivendell. Frodo also wounds a troll in Moria, after Boromir strikes at it with his own sword to no avail. He also cuts Shelob's webs easily with it; they seem to melt at its touch, whereas Sam finds it nearly impossible to cut them with his Barrow-blade. This replica sword is made with High Quality 440 stainless steel throughout. The handle is steel wrapped with faux. The Sword come with a hard wood wall mountable plaque. On the blade and handle are Elven runes as seen in the movie, it reads in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im," Which translates to "Maegnas is my name, I am the spider's bane." This is NOT a U.C. Certified Sword.
