Lord of the Rings: Sword of Boromir

SOLD OUT! Boromir, son of Denthor, was perhaps the strongest swordsman in Gondor, and that's saying quite a bit in a kingdom of soldiers. It's no surprise that he would have wielded such a powerful sword as this.

The sword is the perfect soldier's weapon; wide and wonderfully understated, but crafted with an obsessive attention to detail. Warriors don't want a frilly girl sword, they want a tough looking, heavy hitting, manly sword with personality and dash of style. Come to think of it, that's a rather apt description of Boromir as well.

The blade of Boromir's sword is made from 420 J2 stainless steel, with a deep, wide fuller (in this case, the term "bloodgroove" is probably more appropriate) ground into it. The Pommel is a polished steel, antiqued to simulate use; it's hard and heavy, which gives the sword a great balance. The gaurd is made of the same material, but has a stylish twist to it (possibly meant symbolically as a sign of Boromir's inner struggle and turmoil, if we may wax philosophical for a moment). Whatever the reason for this twisting, it's a fantastic element for a fantasy sword and adds to the gritty look of this fierce weapon.The grip of the sword is a ridged leather-wrap, with small studs under the leather for better grip and added "bad-ass" factor.

Aragorn was known for his leadership, Gandalf for his wisdom, Legolas for his speed, and Gimli for his toughness. Shouldn't you buy the sword of the one member of the Fellowship that was known for his swordsmanship and strength?

The sword is an officially licensed Lord of the Rings weapon, meaning that it has been inspected and run through a battery of quality assurance tests before being released. Because of this, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is a fantastic piece of artwork. Don't settle for cheap knock-offs.
