Designed using advanced building techniques, this custom LEGO sword (the elven scimitar of Thorin Oakenshield) from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is realistic (life-size, at approx. 1:1 scale) and fun to build. The brick-built blade is even strong enough to swing around for a few minutes without breaking. This is also a neat display piece and looks/feels like an ultimate collector’s LEGO sword set. It’s the perfect creative project and conversation-starter for you and your family/friends! If you like my replica LEGO sword, please support my work and purchase a set of instructions. Thank you so much!

You can also watch a 10min tutorial here where I explain the process step-by-step: it’s quite simple and less expensive to do yourself than buying a kit.
* The cost of LEGO parts for this Orcrist model, when you order directly from BrickLink, is approximately $71 USD plus shipping. This is significantly cheaper than buying a similarly sized and prepackaged kit with all the pieces included: such a custom kit would likely be in the $175–250 range with the added labor, inventory, and other markups.
