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

Looks like that whole front crest has been riveted on off center (looking at the pattern on the brass rim of the helmet as a guide) I had put a downpayment on one from Castle Kon and Christian told me that the entire run the UC sent out had that top piece riveted off-center like that. It's supposed...

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

Thanks, that brings it all back. I had forgotten all about making that custom hook. We had a factory making cheap whips that did the braided rope for us. It was originally going to have a chain, and the original sample chain is what my shield is hanging from now. That's one of the few UC replicas t...

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

So I am once again asking for restoration advice. I recently acquired a piece for my collection that I'd been after for some time, a high elven shield (very fitting that I finished payments for it mere days before the high elven helm completion was announced). Given its age and that I am the third i...

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

Lots of new things are on the development list, but not a lot that I can really talk about yet, other than what I have already mentioned and a few reissues - The rest of the Witchking helm limited edition will be made, but the crown spikes may ship unassembled on those. Probably magnetic attachment...

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

Sorry, I'm a little confused by the wording of some of those notes. So to confirm I am reading right, what does "not sold out" for a LE item mean? Does that mean the run was not completed and will they likely be reissued to complete the run at one point or another? Because a number of the...

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

Question for those more in-tune with item release history. I've been doing some research on trying to track down some of the limited edition United Cutlery items, and I've seen a few posts that say that not all of these were completed. Some were manufactured and released, but not the entire quantit...

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

True! But maybe UC might make one, who knows? And then everyone who wants one can get one. I can only realistically make half a dozen or so, and that's with the molding and casting doing most of the work. I couldn't even imagine trying to hand beat each one out of plate brass and silver! UC does no...

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

So as some of you probably saw on my posts asking for repair/finishing tips, I recently acquired a secondhand Shards of Narsil. (Side note, I'm on the last step of restoration and should be finishing that up this weekend, I'll post some pics when it's done). I got it for a pretty decent price becaus...

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

Great news about the helmet stands! I definitely want to grab one for Theoden's helmet been I order one. I recently started collecting the helmets (my Rivendell warrior arrived the other day), and I cant be glad enough this helmet stand just released. Because it's dawning on me that the shoulder ar...

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

So I'm pretty sure I know the answer here, but I want to ask to be sure. This is totally a scam/knockoff website right? https://www.unitedcutleryknife.com/ I was looking into Thorin's regal sword and this seems way too good to be true, which probably means that it is. https://www.unitedcutleryknife...

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

Looks like the Elendil helm is in stock at Budk if anyone wants to pick it up. Also saw the Glamdring white scabbard but no estimated date yet. The helm of King Isildur is in stock now as well. I wish BUDK let you do a monthly payments thing. I would happily get all of the LE stuff now for my colle...

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

Looks like the Elendil helm is in stock at Budk if anyone wants to pick it up. Also saw the Glamdring white scabbard but no estimated date yet. I just saw it the scabbard on the website and got excited (it wasn't there for me yesterday), but when I click it its not there. Why must BUDK taunt me so?

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

I think that's a very safe bet. Other than Gimli's Battle Axe and Walking Axe (and LE items, hopefully), I think that everything in UC's past inventory is fair game at this point. That's for LOTR, of course. I don't think any of the Hobbit replicas will be making a comeback. That's good, I've reall...

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

So I have a new question about UC swords in general. Kit probably knows the answer for sure, but any information anyone has is good. So I recently acquired a LE Shards of Narsil second hand, and did some light refinishing on the surface poly to remove the scratches on the wood. During the buffing th...

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

Ahh gotcha! On a side note, who exactly is Kit? I’m relatively new to these forums and see the name thrown around a lot. I assume they work for/with UC, what’s their position? http://www.kitrae.net/ He's a sword designer and contractor for UC And goes by the user name Nasnandos here. He does most i...

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

As Ronin mentioned above and Kit has confirmed before, the molds and tooling for those two axes were damaged after the original runs and to create new ones would be more costly than UC wants to get into. Ahh gotcha! On a side note, who exactly is Kit? I’m relatively new to these forums and see the ...

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

Seeing how much UC has been reissuing their older LOTR replicas, I've stopped trying to hunt down a lot of the rarer items I don't have yet in the hopes that they will be reissued as well. I think that's a very safe bet. Other than Gimli's Battle Axe and Walking Axe (and LE items, hopefully), I thi...

Looks like the Elendil helm is in stock at Budk if anyone wants to pick it up. Also saw the Glamdring white scabbard but no estimated date yet. As in the white scabbard is coming back!?! If that's the case thank goodness, I've been checking in on eBay every now and then and it's always so expensive.

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

I don't think there have been any sort of official announcements, but does anyone else here really want to see some UC replicas from RoP? Sure the show had flaws, but overall I enjoyed it, and I would really love to see a replica of Finrod's Dagger, Morgoth's Sword Hilt (as dumb as that key to open ...

Re: Greetings from Indiana!

Welcome to the forums DracoAdamantus! We have a variety of collectors (and non collectors that enjoy conversations here). A lot of us (myself included) are mostly blade collectors (oh wait, thats my name :D ) We also have many collectors of statues (WETA and the like) and various other types of pro...

Greetings from Indiana!

Hey all! I just found out about this site the other day while looking for info on United Cutlery's LOTR weapons on Replica Prop Forum, and seems this is a great place for my swords and many other collections! In terms of blades I primarily collect LOTR replica weaponry, with an assorted smattering o...
