The Steward of Gondor is a fantasy-style arming sword inspired by the blade carried by Boromir of Gondor in the legendary cinematic saga — the Captain of the White Tower, eldest son of the Steward, and one of the most beloved warriors in all of high fantasy. Designed to reflect the strength, honour and battlefield presence of Gondor's defenders, this sword pairs a straight, fullered knightly blade with a curved brass crossguard and a deep-red leather hilt, capturing the heroic dignity of Middle-earth's greatest realm of men.

This Everest Forge sword is hand-forged in our Kathmandu workshop from 5160 high carbon spring steel and water-tempered for the balance of edge retention and resilience a real working blade demands, with a full tang running the depth of the handle. The 27-inch double-edged blade carries a broad central fuller for lightness and balance, the crossguard curves gently toward the blade in the classic Gondorian manner, and the grip and scabbard are dressed in rich red leather — a bold custom colourway that sets this piece apart.

Small note: this is an original Everest Forge design, inspired by the Boromir / Gondor style from the Lord of the Rings films. It is not an official or licensed replica, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any film studio or rights-holder. Each blade is individually hand-forged, so small natural variations make every one unique.

The Sword of Gondor in Fantasy Lore

Few fictional blades carry the emotional weight of Boromir's sword. As the heir to the Stewardship of Gondor, Boromir wields a sword fit for a warrior of men — a leaf-influenced, double-edged arming blade balanced for both the slash and the thrust, with a crossguard that curves toward the blade for a silhouette that is at once elegant and aggressive. It is the sword he carries through the Fellowship's journey and the one he wields in his final, redemptive stand defending his companions — a blade that becomes a symbol of courage and sacrifice.

Tolkien, a medieval scholar, drew Boromir's sword from real 12th to 13th-century European arming swords, which is why our Steward of Gondor feels equally at home in a historical collection and a fantasy display. We have rendered it in a bold red-and-brass colourway of our own — a custom interpretation that honours the Gondorian character while making the piece distinctly Everest Forge. It sits naturally alongside the rest of our modern and fantasy swords collection.

What Makes This Hand-Forged Gondor Sword Different

The market is full of cast-metal, stainless "movie swords" — wall-hangers with screwed-on pommels and no real forging behind them. The Steward of Gondor is the opposite: a genuinely hand-forged, full-tang arming sword in real working steel, dressed in a custom red-and-brass colourway you will not find on a mass-produced replica.

The blade is hand-forged from 5160 high carbon spring steel — the same battle-grade steel we use across our combat swords — water-tempered, with a broad central fuller drawn into the blade rather than ground in as decoration. The curved crossguard and pommel are solid brass for a warm, noble contrast, and the grip and scabbard are wrapped in rich red leather. Nothing is cast as a single decorative unit; this is a sword built to be handled and displayed with pride.

It is offered at the most accessible price in its range for a hand-forged, full-tang fantasy arming sword of this quality — and every customisation is included rather than billed as an upcharge on the page. For collectors and fans who want a Boromir-inspired blade in real steel rather than a stamped souvenir, this is the right tier. Explore the wider range in our historical swords collection.

Care & Maintenance

Oil the blade regularly. 5160 carbon steel will surface-rust if neglected. Wipe the blade with mineral oil, gun oil, or food-grade camellia oil after handling and periodically during storage. The 27-inch blade has a lot of surface area — oil the full length.

Care for the leather and brass. Condition the red leather grip and scabbard with leather balm or beeswax every few months to prevent drying and keep the colour rich. Brass develops a natural patina over time; a gentle metal polish restores the bright finish if you prefer it shiny.

Store thoughtfully. Do not store the blade sealed inside a damp scabbard for long periods. For long-term storage, keep the sword lightly oiled and the scabbard somewhere dry and ventilated, out of prolonged direct sun.

Respect the edge. This is a sharpened live blade. Handle, draw and sheathe it with care, keep it away from children, and use it only for its intended display, collection and controlled purposes.
