This elegantly crafted short sword sized and styled akin to Sting from Lord of the Rings is lavishly etched on a single side in Tolkien’s Elvish script; it is meticulously hand-forged by Baltimore Knife & Sword and specifically engineered for demanding stage and sport combat applications although it makes for an excellent a elegantly gorgeous collectible all on its own. It features a resilient, shock-absorbing blade of medium-carbon alloy steel, heat-treated to a tempered hardness of 48-50 HRC, with blunt, rebated edges designed to endure repeated edge-to-edge impacts against other blunted weapons without compromising durability or performance. The crossguard and pommel are forged from sturdy steel with welding at both the guard and pommel for exceptional overall strength and reliability. Completing the hilt is a comfortable, spiraled wrap of supple black leather that provides a secure and supple grip during intense use. This sword features a lifetime guarantee from Baltimore Knife & Sword. Should the dagger break under normal stage combat use then it will be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
