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

[quote=""Valkrist""]I think BudK realized that Hobbit and LOTR items were their best sellers and figured they were losing too much money on blowout discounts like 30% off. That had to be affecting their profit margin a bit, even if they do own UC, which is the manufacturer. Somew...

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

[quote=""Nasnandos""]They may have had 18 a week ago, but they reorder from United as they needs stock, just like any other dealer. As far as the relationship, all of the BudK Worldwide companies have the same owner, but they are different companies. United has their own offices ...

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

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I heard they pulled them from stock and gave them all back to United. Breakage issues.[/quote] I called budk about a week ago and they told me they only had 18 left instock. So it wouldn't surprise me if they sold out. My friend ordered one, so I know they we...

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

[quote=""Nasnandos""]Probably September/October if they have released specs and images already. Where have the specs been posted? EDIT - never mind. I found them. Yes, same tooling and molds as the LOTR version. I gave them new corroded etching art for the blade but the proto the...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

This question is directed at Kit, but anyone with advice, feel free to answer. What is the best way to clean/polish the Orcrist Sword? Someone I know used metal glo and the blue around the inscription on the blade came off. I have used metal glo in the past on some of my other swords (Glamdring, And...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""N2darkness""]Upon takeing my Orcrist off the rack to take photo's for a review I found a rather large crack/flake on the handle, already asked for a replacement.[/quote] Someone I know ordered one and he said the handle was cracked when he opened it. He is sending his ba...

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

[quote=""Valkrist""]I very much hope so. Slowly falling in love with the dwarven weapons. I want to see Thorin's axe also, and still holding a prayer for a UC version of Balin's Mace. Going to need a whole wall for dwarven stuff alone. I'm seriously considering getting two of the...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Nasnandos""]If people bought more scabbards, UC would have produced more. Unfortunately only a tiny number of people who buy the swords also get a scabbard. The Orcrist scabbard is difficult, but not impossible to make in steel and wood. The problem with making it in ste...

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

I had some e xp erience shipping items to Australia for some friends of mine. The main issue is that almost all of the items are too large to ship there with the postal service, so they have to go FedEx or UPS which is e xp ensive. Anything shipped with the postal service has to be less than 36 inch...

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

Thanks for the great pics Kit. Is there any place where I can find a description of the difference between LOTR Glamdring and Hobbit Glamdring? Also the same question for the Sting Swords? I see some differences in the pictures, but it would be great if you (or United) could provide more details.

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""RevAnakin""]Is blade center a reliable company? Honestly, I am going for whoever is cheapest. These are all the same products, and as long as the dealer is not a scammer, I am just going for lowest overall cost.[/quote] I've ordered LOTR items from 5 different dealers (i...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Nasnandos""]From what I know, none of that stuff was supposed to be released to the public. Ad copy was not final, images were not approved, et cetera. Not even sure the pricing is correct. I think it was just supposed to be a preview for distributors, then it got in dea...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

Not sure what is going on. All the websites that had the items up are taking them back down. I checked cbswords and there is a statement stating that they accidentally released the info on the items too early. Looks like they are not allowed to sell them until Oct. 1st. Bladecenter still has them up...
