The Uruk-Hai were a breed of large Orcs, evil fighting creatures created to destroy the world of Men. They were bred by Saruman in the depths of his stronghold, Orthanc. They bore Saruman’s symbol of the white hand on their shields and helmets and were armed with deadly swords. These brutal, blunt-tipped weapons were roughly forged by Orc blacksmiths in the mines of Orthanc. They were built for chopping attacks, but also featured a deadly spike on the top of the blade tip for puncturing armor. This authentically detailed sword is a reproduction an actual filming prop crafted by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and featured in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers film presented by New Line Cinema. The 24 3/4" false-edged blade features a textured finish, made to simulate the roughly corroded-metal look of the actual film props. This finish is intentional and not a defect. With an overall length of 31 7/8", it is constructed of one-piece high carbon steel with a genuine leather-wrapped wood grip. Each sword is presented with a wall display plaque patterned after the Uruk-Hai helm and shield shapes and adorned with the hand of Saruman graphic.
