5.0 out of 5 stars Hadhafang -Throng's Bane:, September 28, 2009

Many may not recognize nor ever have heard of Hadhafang and for good reason, Hadhafang was only featured twice in New Line Cinema's Lord of the Rings Trilogy and in both instances for only a fragment of time. However in both segments that it was on screen it was wielded by two renowned and beloved LOTR characters; Elrond and his daughter Arwen. It was also wielded by Idril (Mother of Earendil and Grandmother of Elrond) against the evil Throng ages before.

The inscription on the blade reads:

Aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i thang an i arwen
("This blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble maiden")

Now regarding the product itself:


Pros

From the tip of the blade to pummel the weapon is well crafted. The stainless steel cleans easy, the wooden handle or hilt is smooth and finely crafted, and the blade itself is very sharp which for some may count as a con but for me only makes the replica more genuine.

Cons

There is really only one con and that is that Hadhafang is not a well balanced sword. Now I know this is typical for most replicas and it is because of that I did not make it 4 1/2 stars.

Overall a very satisfying purchase, I am pleased to be proud owner of Hadhafang. :)

It is a great sword in fact my first and only Lotr sword but i will get more in the future. The handle is made with a fine smooth wood and the blade is made with stainless steel. The blade has elven script inscribed on the blade that reads "this blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady. The only thing is that the sword dosent balance well but over all i was glad to add it to my Lotr collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, June 26, 2006

I was thrilled to get my sword! It' is really pretty, but also a little heavy. I was a little dissapointed with the gold that was supposed to be in the engraving on the blade because it looked like someone couldn't stay in the lines. Yet that still did not take away from the beauty of it.
