Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

Just realized this thread is over 3 years old now lol. According to BudK's website the "updated" release date is June 2024. Sadly I have other sword projects in the works this year... but I am still looking forward to picking this one up! Interested to see how the newest prototype hilt par...

Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

HAHA...Jash, you remind me of someone on a Woodworking forum that I'm on. The guy was (of course) always buying tools..hand tools, power tools, add-ons for the tools, etc. His wife with some exasperation asked him, "How many tools do you need?" And he replied, "Why? Do you know someo...

Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

Well, I admit, those pictures do look good. I'm liking the higher polished look with the non-antiqued silver plating. I do like bling :) As I was cleaning out the storage area, it made me think... I have: - LE Shards. - LE Anduril. - Anduril. - Custom "battle ready" Narsil. - Just picked u...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

They were never going to be limited, and I think I mentioned here last year that there will be no more new LOTR limited editions from United. The 20th anniversary mark for TTT was always going to be on there. There was supposed to be a special edition 20th anniversary Sting for FOTR last year too, ...

Re: LOTR movie trilogy 20th anniversary

Wasn't sure where else to post this but I'm in Calgary right now for the Fan Expo that is on for four days (attending all four), and on Saturday there's an event called Return of the Hobbits, and I will get to meet and have my photo taken with Wood, Astin, Boyd, and Monaghan. :thumbs_up Oh, and ton...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

FYI, Theodred's sword is now "in stock" at BudK. I already put in my order! https://www.budk.com/Lord-of-the-Rings-Sword-of-Th%C3%A9odred-Officially-Lic-50485 Awesome! Congrats! I read on FB that these are not "Limited Editions" (either a change, or a miscommunication initially)...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I actually did! I found a blacksmith on Instagram who was making pans and able to take custom orders. It wasn't cheap as it came all the way from the UK. It is a heavy duty hand forged piece and you could definitely kill an orc or two with it. You can order one by messaging him on Facebook or Insta...

Re: The Rings Of Power

@Olorin and @EagleFriend - great idea merging the two threads! No apologies needed in any regard! My intent was a thread solely on the weapons and their replicas... but seeing how they haven't even sold the license / rights yet... that enthusiasm was premature. I hate to admit it, but besides The Ho...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

No no, I got the joke. But... the fact that I would purchase and display a "battle used" Sam's Fighting Frying Pan was 100% serious !! :) Ok, I thought I expressed myself wrong. Me too, but only if frying pan is screen accurate. :P You guys are killing me....just killing me. :rolleye: :cd...

Re: Factory Entertainment

For the most part (other companies), I'm against the concept of remaking sold out limited editions due to principle. However, for this specific example, it is a bit more personal. When this sword was up for sale I was a poor university student. I picked up extra shifts at work (while going to school...

Re: Factory Entertainment

Johanwill7 - sorry, but i cannot see your reply. But thank you for reminding me of this thread! Update - I DID purchase the Montoya Sword way back when.. and absolutely LOVE it! However, Factory Entertainment decided it's been a while, so they are remaking the Sold Out Limited Edition "Princess...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I think my frying pan joke was misunderstood. It was just a parody on UC's strategy for rereleasing a replica that was limited, releasing a new edition just adding an item to it, like with the new mace with the flag... Although if they released that edition, with a screen accured Sam's frying pan, ...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I've been using a program I purchased many years ago called "Big print" and it allows you to scale any image and then measure and print templates. You do need 1 measurement to scale the image though. Here is a link https://woodgears.ca/bigprint/ Thank you for the link! Seems like a great ...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Thanks for the pictures! @N2 - Hhmm if i cannot find the actual dimensions, then using Sam's sword and relatively-scaled picture will be a decent Plan B. Greatly appreciate the last picture you shared :) . If you do go ahead and make your own versions, I eagerly await progress pictures! I'm fairly s...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Kit - sorry to change topics... but is there any (newer) interest at all from UC to complete the Barrow Blades? Reason I ask is I may have found someone willing to custom make the 3 for me... but, obviously I'd prefer official replicas to match my Sam's Sword. Or - any (newer) interest in making any...

Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

Thank you for the clarification! I figured they would be... just our conversations regarding this were 8 to 13 months ago... And I know a lot can change in that time. :) But I'm very happy to hear that! I know we'll never get a fully functional Anduril... but at least this will be as good as, if not...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Oh, my apologies. I don't recall that conversation at all. This forum is such a wealth of knowledge... and my aging brain can only hold so much lol. I shall cherish my older replicas all that much more now. I just purchased an older LOTR Sting from a seller via only 3 bad quality pictures. Fingers c...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Ugh... Sting has a plastic handle now?!? I read elsewhere that someone noticed on the BudK page for Legolas Knives that the handles for those are now resin and not wood anymore. Is this true? I get the need to reduce costs but it's getting to the point that replicas are becoming so far removed from...

Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

I remember the prototype sent to Kit was forged and tempered (in the hopes of making a fully functional Anduril). So my gut is telling me that these blades are tempered... and Drew doesn't have all the specifics yet.... Oh for sure, i also wouldn't call these MC's to be "battle ready". But...

Re: UC "Museum Collection" Carbon Steel Anduril ??

Well... MC Anduril is finally up for Pre-Order on BudK! $450US... Which seems quite reasonable. Taking into consideration no display case, but material and production cost going up since the original MC days. Does anyone recall the going price of MC Glamdring when they were released? Just for compar...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Just finished watching the LOTR Trilogy a couple days ago (it's been over a year since i've seen them last... and that's just not right :O ). So it got me excited again for the upcoming pieces! MC Anduril - I commented on it's thread. Blue Sting - i did not know the newer Stings have replaced the wo...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Drew from UC posted this on FB (for those that don't have it): "I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys are most excited about in the upcoming [New] United Cutlery LOTR projects. 1 - MC Anduril 2 - Boromir's Dagger 3 - Theoden Helm 4 - Guthwine Scabbard 5 - Rohan Axe 6 - Rohan Sp...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

That's quite alright Jash , it's not really a sword anyway . . . More of a letter opener :laugh: :thumbs_up HAHAH that just made my day, thank you :) WOW. After the small comment about liking N2's idea of a Blue Bladed Sting, I was NOT expecting this reaction! :D I also vote for a new, fancier plaq...

Re: Upcoming SOTA plans?

Sadly I did get out of the SOTA line (but Elexorien, Kilgorin, and Luciendar are some of my favourite fantasy sword designs!).
I am still a HUGE fan of the "Legends in Steel" series :) Hopefully one day I'll complete that set.

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Has anyone heard any updates on if (and if yes, what) UC will be making anything special for the 20th Anniversary ?? There were plans for a special sword to be available now, but production and shipping delays last year pushed everything back, so it's not going to happen. At this point it would not...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Oh man! I’ve longed for that Citadel guard helm since 2003. Or whenever it was that I first saw it. I’m guessing it would be resin? DItto! And... I really hope not. I've been wanting to get the older metal Gondor helm.. but this would easily take it's place!! With all the recent news of reissues an...
