The Sword of Boromir - Hand Forged Lord of the Rings Replica

The Sword of Boromir — 22-Inch Hand-Forged Lord of the Rings Replica with Customizable Blade Length

The Everest Forge Sword of Boromir is a hand-forged tribute to the iconic blade carried by Boromir, son of Denethor II, Captain of the White Tower of Gondor, in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Hand-forged in Kathmandu by Nepalese master smiths from 5160 high carbon spring steel (recycled truck leaf-spring stock), water-tempered, full-tang construction. 22-inch straight double-edge blade, 8-inch rosewood handle with leather wrap, leather-wrapped wooden scabbard. Total length 30 inches, weight 904 grams. Available in six blade lengths from 18 to 28 inches — perfect for collectors, cosplayers, reenactors, and Tolkien fans alike.

This isn't a costume prop. It's a real functional sword built to the same standards as our combat-grade gladii and kukris — hand-forged 5160 spring steel, water-quenched, full-tang, sharpened to a working edge. Whether you're building a complete Fellowship-of-the-Ring weapons collection, recreating Boromir's last stand at Amon Hen, or simply honouring one of the most tragic and noble heroes of Middle-earth, this Gondorian sword delivers both cinematic presence and real-world performance.

Note: This is an unofficial, hand-forged tribute / fan creation inspired by the Sword of Boromir as depicted in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003). Slight variations in weight, dimensions, or finish may occur due to the handmade nature of the item. Not affiliated with or endorsed by New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Entertainment, the J.R.R. Tolkien Estate, or any other rights holder of the Lord of the Rings franchise.

Boromir, Son of Denethor — Captain of Gondor

Boromir, son of Denethor II, was the eldest son of the Steward of Gondor and the Captain of the White Tower — one of the most respected warriors in all of Middle-earth at the time of the War of the Ring. Played by Sean Bean in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Boromir is one of the original nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring, sworn to protect Frodo Baggins on the journey to destroy the One Ring at Mount Doom.

Boromir's sword is a Gondorian longsword — a straight, double-edged blade designed for the disciplined infantry combat practiced by the descendants of Numenor. The fittings reflect the heraldry of Gondor: the white tree, the seven stars, and the noble simplicity that defined the kingdom's high warrior tradition. Throughout the films, Boromir wields this sword in some of the trilogy's most memorable battles — including the Mines of Moria, the journey down the Anduin, and his final stand at Amon Hen, where he died defending Merry and Pippin from the Uruk-hai.

Our hand-forged replica honours both the cinematic version and the deeper Gondorian sword tradition rooted in Tolkien's lore. The 22-inch standard blade matches the on-screen sword's proportions while remaining a fully functional 5160 spring steel weapon.

Hand-Forged vs Movie Prop Decoration

Search "Boromir sword replica" online and you'll find two types:

Type 1: Licensed movie merchandise replicas. Mass-produced stainless steel, plastic-style handles, no real edge, no customisation. Manufactured under licensing deals. Look like display pieces but won't withstand actual use.

Type 2 (this one): A genuine hand-forged sword in real 5160 spring steel, full-tang construction, water-tempered, customisable in six blade lengths. Built to the same standards as our combat-grade Roman gladii and Nepalese kukris. Forged by Nepalese master smiths, made-to-order, fully functional.

The price difference reflects the fundamental difference: this is a real sword, not a film prop. It will outlive any movie merchandise replica by decades.

Build Your Boromir Loadout — Sword + Dagger

In The Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir didn't just carry a sword — he also wore a finely crafted Gondorian dagger as a sidearm. Together they formed a complete warrior's loadout. We've recreated both pieces in matching hand-forged 5160 spring steel:

Order both for the complete Boromir loadout. Display them side-by-side as a matched set, or carry as a true Captain of Gondor warrior would have.

The Complete Hand-Forged LOTR Collection

The Sword of Boromir is part of our growing Lord of the Rings hand-forged collection. Each piece honours the design language of Middle-earth — from the Numenorean nobility of Gondor to the simple Barrow-blades carried by the hobbits of the Fellowship.
