This officially licensed reproduction sword from The Lord of the Rings is the scimitar wielded by the vicious Uruk Hai. The Uruk Hai were created by the dark lord Sauron, but the traitorous wizard Saruman also developed a stronger version to destroy Rohan by crossbreeding orcs and men. This sword features a 24-3/4" high carbon steel blade and leather wrapped wood handle over the full tang construction. This item offers the exact details from the original piece and includes a certificate of authenticity and display plaque. 24-3/4" blade. 31-15/16" overall.

The Uruk-hai (Orc folk) are an advanced breed of orcs that appeared during the Third Age.  The Uruk-Hai made up a large part of Saruman's army, together with the Dunlendings and Man-enemies of Rohan, and also served as the elite troops of Mordor. The Uruk-Hai are faster than normal Orcs and could travel during the day without being weakened by the sun. They are not only faster but stronger and larger: unlike Orcs, they are taller than Men. There are suggestions that the Uruk-hai were the result of crossbreeding Orcs and Men. Certainly, there were other creatures in Saruman's armies, and under his command in the Shire, appear to have been hybrids. "Half-orcs" were as tall as Men and are never described simply as Orcs, as the Uruk-hai frequently are. It has also been suggested that they are the cross-breeds of goblins and orcs, Goblins are faster and stronger than Orcs but are incapable of moving in sunlight whereas orcs can; the combined form possessing the benificial qualities from both species. Saruman's army of Uruk-hai fought against King Théoden of Rohan and his people at Helm's Deep.
