Orcrist Letter Opener: Photos


Orcrist letter opener (Sword of Thorin Oakenshield, The Hobbit)
 ThinkGeek and Amazon
I really like this letter opener, which I bought from ThinkGeek. It's pointy and opens letters easily, looks fantastic on the mantlepiece, could probably actually stab someone, but won't cut you.

I already wrote up an overview of the Hobbit/LOTR letter openers here, but had enough photos that I wanted to post these separately.

Photos of the details, from hilt to blade

The pattern in the pommel of the sword

The (fake?) wooden hilt, complete with grip and curving metal hilt and pommel
The shiny curve of the hilt, and the tiny detailing of Elvish runes
This extends out onto the blade.


The Elvish on the blade curving down in a long tendril and the trademark symbol (one side only, the other side is blank in that spot)

The shiny gold name and the clasp on the display box.
