Blue-Glow Elven Leaf-Blade Shortsword — Diecast Zinc-Alloy Replica | Desk Display Collectible 30cm | BlacksmithSONG

"It glows blue when Orcs are close."

It was found in a Troll hoard, hidden alongside legendary blades. To an Elf, it was merely a letter opener. But to a Hobbit, it was a sword. Sting is the courageous blade that journeyed from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain, and finally to the fires of Mount Doom.

At BlacksmithSONG, we present our most substantial miniature yet. This is not a toy; it is a heavy metal tribute to the bravest little people in Middle Earth.

The Heavyweight Champion (Quality & Specs)

When you hold this replica, the first thing you notice is the density.

• Surprising Heft: Weighing in at 195g (6.9 oz), this is nearly double the weight of our longer swords like Andúril. It feels incredibly solid, cold, and premium in the hand.

• Elven Engravings: As seen in the close-up photos, the blade is etched with the flowing Sindarin script and vine motifs added by the Elves of Rivendell after Bilbo's adventures.

• The Leaf Blade: The shape captures the distinct, leaf-like curve of the movie prop, designed for cutting webs in Mirkwood or defending against Shelob.

• The Scabbard: Included is a brown scabbard with antique silver-colored fittings, perfectly matching the rustic yet noble aesthetic of a Hobbit adventurer.

A Sword with a Name

Before the Mirkwood spiders, this was just an anonymous Elven dagger from Gondolin. But after Bilbo Baggins used it to defend the dwarves, he declared: "I shall call you Sting."

This sting sword replica represents courage found in unlikely places. It was passed from Bilbo to Frodo Baggins, along with the advice to "not be too quick to deal out death and judgment." Later, it was wielded by the faithful Samwise Gamgee. It is the only weapon to have wounded the Great Spider, Shelob.

Displaying Your Treasure

Given its compact length but heavy weight, Sting is versatile:

• The Perfect Desk Companion: At 30cm (11.8 inches), it fits perfectly under a monitor or on a bookshelf.

• Photography Prop: The intricate engravings reflect light beautifully, making it an excellent prop for macro photography with your 1/6 scale figures or fantasy book collection.

• Note: While it shares the 30cm length with our other swords, the blade is wider and thicker, contributing to its superior weight.
