A magical sword given to Frodo Baggins by his uncle Bilbo, the original Ringbearer.It is up to Frodo and the chosen "Fellowship" to cast the Ring back into the fires of Mount Doom, where it was originally forged, and destroy it once and for all. Bilbo gives Sting, a sword made by Elves in the ancient days, to Frodo to serve him on his harrowing journey. Bilbo carried Sting with him when he originally acquired the Ring from Gollum. Sting's blade glows when Orcs, the violent footsoldiers of Sauron, are present. Engraved on the blade and cross guard are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "Maegnas is my name, I am the spider's bane." The Sting sword is 22 " overall with a tempered 420 J2 15" stainless steel blade and the wood hand grip is adorned with Elven vine design. This is an official release of the Lord of the Rings movie swords.
