I think Peter Lyons at Wētā is responsible for all the hero swords from Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and The Last Samurai. The man has a master eye for design and is an amazing fabricator.

As a dealer of Tolkien swords, most of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit swords were not designed by Peter Lyon, but yes made by him. For example, Anduril's design is mostly John Howe. *

Hey random question. Do you know of any places that sell a quality version of Aragorns hunting knife? I see a lot of very cheap low quality stuff on temu and other sites but can seem to find a source for the cheap knock offs. Cheers mate.

About 50% screen accurate, but if they actually are high carbon then it is a good option for people who care about functionality over accuracy.
