Ultimate Collectors' Forums

Hello, my name is Jason.

So, I have always been a pocket knife collector but about two weeks ago I saw the LOTR Sting sword in a knife magazine and had to have it. After doing some research I decided I did not want the SS replicas. I wanted the MC edition. I got it off Amazon last week and also a scabbard (from the Hobbit). I am thinking about getting the LOTR scabbard to match it better.

Also I purchased my MC Sting with out its display box or COA to save money. Instead, I will be building my own display box to similarly match the stock one.

Oh and my MC Sting looks amazing!!!

Thanks,
Jason B.

Welcome, Jason!

Congrats on your new MC Sting. IMHO, it is one of the most beautiful replicas produced from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I'd love to see photos of your custom display case when you finish it!

Enjoy the forums!

Hey Jason welcome on board of this very nice community and yes Sting MC is awesome just like Glamdring MC.
I hope you will have the time of your life like we all do.
I'm way to curious to read what you have and if it's possible to see pictures of your stuff.

Welcome Jason.
After seeing the close up shots that Legion posted of his MC Sting, I think you started out with the perfect piece, congrats.

Hope you jump right in, there's a lot happening in here. Great bunch of people

Thanks guys!

So, I couldn't find the LOTR Sting scabbard for a decent price so I bought on ebay that came with the LOTR Sting UC1264. My plan was to keep the LOTR scabbard and then sell the LOTR Sting with the Hobbit Scabbard. But they just look so good next to each other. The feel of the MC is far superior especially the balance. I do wish the handles were a little less oval, but it works. The handle on the MC also looks so much better, the wood on the LOTR almost looks fake since it has a clear coat on it to protect the silver painted design.

As far as the display case. It is on hold till after Charismas. I am hoping to get a few router bits that will make things easier and cleaner looking. I already have the lock and hinges and also scoped out what wood and plexy I will be using.

Also I posted a lot of pictures! Take a look it my albums that are linked in my profile.

I just saw your photo's that Sting MC that's from Redfordfilms right ?
I see it on the styrofoam cause i had it a year or so ago.
The other picture is that for a display case your gonna make it yourself for that Sting ?

I bought it off Amazon through the seller was ToyWars.

If your talking about the hinges and lock set, they sure are! I wanted to go with a set of hidden hinges but they were a lot more e xp ensive and I could only find them in polished brass when I wanted a more rustic/antique look.

I'm curious to see pics when your selfmade display case is ready.
If you think you can make it like the real ones than you must be a very handy man.

Well, it wont be 'exactly' like the original. I am using two larger hinges instead of three smaller, and I have not found where to get any corner protectors like the originals. I have found some that are just plane polished brass but that's it. Also I don't know what I am going to do for a background yet.
