Fear was the Witch-king’s greatest weapon, and only the bravest could withstand his advance, yet more earthly tools he bore also: scythes, halberds, long knives, a great flail, and a wicked sword wrought of cursed steel. Darkened and pitted with cruel spells, the savage blade could be wielded with either single or two-handed grip.

Donning black robes and armour, the Witch-king of Angmar rode from his fortress of Minas Morgul at the whim of the Dark Lord, to hunt for his enemies or bring war upon Mordor’s neighbours. In form his fiery weapon recalled the tall, straight swords of Númenor, but where they were elegant and noble in their simplicity, the torn edges and points of the Witch-king’s blade promised only death and decay.

The Witch-king’s sword was designed by Warren Mahy and made at Weta Workshop in New Zealand for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy by Master Swordsmith Peter Lyon, with leatherwork crafted by expert costume technician, Darin Gordine.

"A sword should be pleasing from all angles and not look overly heavy, nor spindly, anywhere. It’s one of those things that an artist can appraise and know they have it right, based on experience."
Peter Lyon - Master Swordsmith, Weta Workshop
