     LOTR: Legolas Knives

The Legolas knives as depicted in the Lord of the Rings movies are somewhat shorter than a normal sword and somewhat longer than a dagger.  As such, they fill a unique niche in battle and transform Legolas from an Elf with a deadly aim with a bow, to an effective warrior in hand-to-hand combat.   Although not specifically mentioned as daring amazing feats in battle in the books as depicted in the Lord of the Rings movies, Legolas nevertheless, uses the Legolas knives or daggers in a plausible display of warrior capabilities.

 

The Legolas knives or daggers are similar to Hadhafang with it’s beautifully slender blade and Katana like curvature.  Like other Elvish weapons, the Legolas knives are absent of the ‘cross-guard’ which forms a cross-like structure at the hilt, intended to maintain the position of the hand so that it does not slide down, during thrusting actions.  And like other Elvish weapons,  contain the beautiful decorations that are reminiscent of Celtic patterns.  The handle is what appears to be either a hard-wood or polished antler design. 

 

The Legolas knives are beautiful in their appearance.  They are large enough that they cannot be simply be dismissed as “just another knife”.  The fact that this unique set of knives also comes in a set with such impressive pattern inscriptions coupled with the unique curvature of the blade, make this an absolutely perfect gift for the blad enthusiast.  These will surely be one of the priceless possessions that draws attention to any passerby.
