Overview
Darksword - The Dark Elf Gurthang Sword With Integrated Sword Belt - Munitions Grade
“There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long.”
Inspired by the legendary sword Gurthang in Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Gurthang was a sword forged by the Dark Elf Eöl and was most famously wielded by the tragic hero Túrin Turambar. The sword had a dark personality and thirsted for blood and war, and beneath its blade many Orcs were slain, and even Glaurung, Father of Dragons was slain by the blade. This fully- functional fantasy sword has a blade of well-tempered 5160 high carbon steel with an edge hardness of 60 HRc and a midsection of 50 HRc.
The hilt of the sword is fully imbued in Tolkien elven character with its Elven script on both sides of its steel guard. The grip is of well carved and finely polished dark hardwood and the blade is mounted into the hilt with a peen over its steel pommel. This is a fairly large and wide bladed longsword, but its dual fullers reduce considerable weight and coupled with a long grip for leverage the sword is surprisingly lively in the hand while still maintaining an authoritative presence and heft. Included is a wood-core scabbard which is bound in leather and completed with a protective steel chape and an integrated sword belt of thick leather.
