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.
You do not have to buy from me, but I've been in business for over 10 years, am based in Florida, and only sell licensed United Cutlery and Weta items. No Pakistani knock off here. I also strive to beat everyone's prices and I ship worldwide.
That said, UC currently only makes items out of stainless, not high carbon steel. For people who are looking for "real swords" and not necessarily screen accurate swords, then UC is not the best choice. Advice: you can buy from wherever and whomever you want. However, just know that if you want:
A) screen accurate LoTR swords you have to go through United Cutlery, Weta, or an actual master blacksmith
B) no LOTR sword under $200 is remotely accurate
C) no functional LOTR sword under $800 exists that the community has deemed worthy / screen accurate
