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

Hey, Kit. Since MC Anduril is going to have an accurate fuller now, will this possibly translate to future production of standard Anduril and Narsil or would that require retooling? I was going to pick up a Narsil since they're currently in stock but in case it might get the updated fuller as well...

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

@Nasnandos ah. Oh well. Bright side, doing away with LE could stave off the price gouging often seen later down the road with them. Thats always a plus imo. Shame about 2/3 axes but is what it is. Drew mentioned they had to retool or get new tooling for the reissued wraith sword coming up on Facebo...

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

If Star Wars is an indication, LOTR items will continue to sell despite new material being released. Then again the new Star Wars material isn't popular compared to the original trilogy. The amazon show will drum up interest no doubt but I think we'll still have a healthy supply of incoming collecto...

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

Hey folks hope everyone's doing well. Just wanted to pop in and share my Orcrist project that I've been tinkering with so far: https://youtu.be/LP3XY0qV41Y I wanted, ha, to make the hilt match the scabbard, and obviously failed lol. But I like what it's become so far. Thinking about making a scabba...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y Bilbo and Frodo! :cheering: :big_wave: :cheers: (Always glad when this day comes 'round :jump: ) Yes, in honor of Hobbit day I finally finished Bilbo's writing desk and bookstand. I also made the window frame to go behind the desk, the chair was a local craigslist find. :c...

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

That's disappointing about the Walking axe. I was optimistic it would be the latest in this string of reissues. I'll still hold out hope though that demand will once again be high enough to make it worthwhile for UC to invest in the tooling. Maybe by that time manufacturing costs will have lowered a...

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

Great news on the sword of Isildur reissue but I really hope it comes with addressing the previous qc issues otherwise it may have to be a pass for me unfortunately. And of course if it can be made more accurate, even better. I'm feeling a bit flustered and not sure where else to put this but it loo...

Re: Upcoming SOTA plans?

If you ever find your proposal or your concepts drawings for Sting and Glamdring I'd love to see them! I can't find the original art I did for Glamdring, but I did find my original thumbnail sketch. I'm pretty sure the final one looked close to this. Since Turgon was a king, I had in mind something...

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

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 be available until late 2021 or 2022, missing the anniversary. That's interesting, was it just a special edition of ...

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

Just a note on the Noble Collection Crown of Elessar , it was limited , if you want to call 9500 limited . But that is the edition size , don't remember if it was numbered . I have one here somewhere amongst all my collectibles . I always thought it was a beautifully done piece , detail is nice as ...

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

I've been watching video reviews of the crown online. It's a really nice piece. And made from a mold of the production made crown. I'm sure they reference a prop or prop photos, but it was definitely not cast from a production made crown prop. It's still a good looking replica though. Kit, were the...

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

Ronin, you could always ask any of the helpful members of our community here and at FoU that live in Europe if they would arrange to order one for you and then personally ship it to the US. I know it sucks to pay for shipping twice, but if you find someone willing to do it within the UK or the EU f...

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

So I contacted Noble Collection about the crown and the Rep said they had no plans to restock it. The France NC website has it in stock but they don't ship to the US. The UK NC website has it on backorder but they also don't ship to the US. I tried searching a few other sites but no luck on shipping...

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

I believe the Noble one is out of production. Was it a limited edition? I don't believe so, no. If it's out of production, then it must've happened not that long ago. J haven't checked Noble's site in a while but the Crown was one of those items that always seemed to be there. Do you happen to reca...

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

Wow, this news might've made my year haha. Does this mean the crown of King Elessar and, dare I dream, the Witch-King helm may see another run as well?! I'm infamous for forgetting or misremembering things that Kit has said in the past (and they are legion), but I thought the Wiki helm was complete...

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

I'd be interested. I've always wanted a set of those. What about the Arkenstone? Any interest from UC there? Are you familiar with John Lowe's work? He makes a round "Dreamsphere" that (the first time I saw it about 5 years ago) reminded me of the Book version of the Arkenstone. I know he...

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

Safe to assume Covid and port entry is the hold up there perhaps? Not exactly. The US lockdowns and Covid $$$ made Christmas sales happen about 6 months early for the knife industry, and I assume most big companies that sell over the internet. Everyone scrambled to get replacement production in for...

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

Seeing the Anduril scabbard back in stock at Budk gives me hope the Ranger sword scabbard among others will be back as well. Anduril has always been the #1 selling LOTR sword, so that scabbard will probably continue to be reissued every few years for the new collectors. I saw the LOTR pages from th...

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

Been too quiet in here... With that in mind there's been discussion over at FOU about how to best convert Eowyn's sword to Theodord's sword. As far as I can see the only difference is the color of the leather wrap on the handle and some color in the horse heads of the cross guard. Possibly some colo...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Spent it with just my parents and my brother and his wife. We usually go over my uncle's house but this year my parents wanted to stay home. Nothing to do with Covid, they just haven't liked going out in bad weather and yesterday was especially windy and cold in our neck of the w...

Re: RIP, Sir Sean Connery

A king,..... Ronin, pretty certain you are referring to "The Man Who Would Be King". Great movie, excellent casting. I saw it at the theatre when it first came out. I can't tell you how many times I have watched it since, but it is a lot, like several dozen times, VHS version only [keep r...

Re: RIP, Sir Sean Connery

A king, a captain, a fatherly professor, an untouchable cop, an immortal swordsman, and of course Her Majesty's most charming secret agent just to name a few. I can't think of many actors that could be all these things. I had always wished he had kept acting but I was glad hearing he was content no ...

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

Guards on the boromir swords are off... Gap between the blade and quillons are off if you look at them. Didnt notice before ditching the shipper and return label or it'd have been back out the door... Can't really say I'm surprised. Theres always something with UC QC lol. This has lead me to avoid ...

Re: LOTR TV adaptation

Can't say I'm surprised. If current Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, and to a growing extent Marvel hasn't taught us already, the film industry has no respect nor understanding of source material or its creators. Yes, PJ diverted from the books but there's a difference between taking creative liberties and...
