Strider's Sword - Aragorn Rangers Replica - Lord of the Rings

This sword is so well made. It is a beautiful piece for anyone's collection.

Prince sword

I own several United Cutlery LOTR swords, and while this one is not the most ornate, it is the most well-balanced (not that I would swing it at anyone, but it has a wonderful feel to it). Of course the quality is only the finest too! United Cutlery never disappoints and BUDK always delivers!

This is a good quality sword as what you might expect from United Cutlery. This sword is a solid piece with no defects. I am glad I added this sword to my collection.

The strider sword is excellent...own it for over a year now and couldn't be more pleased with it! I have the whole collection of lotr swords and this is of same high quality as the rest of them are.....united cutlery makes best replicas out there period !

This thing is strait up awesome! I can't put it down! The blade was artfully made, and the gold colored wire brought some simple and elegant details to this sword. It was heavier than I expected, but it was my first sword. The balance is distinctly two handed, and masterfully placed. Another plus is that the length of the blade is just 3', making it just as long as other swords, but with a longsword balance.The pommel was a bit larger in diameter than in the picture, but that's okay. The leather hilt is green, and feels empowering to grip. The plaque was very nice as well, with a beautifully done insignia. Now i just need the scabbard...

Just got my sword, checked it out its very nice sword big in size. The feel in your hand is good.

Ok this thing is legit. I just got it today and it is just straight up awesome! Very solid sword. Doesn't bend or wobble. The handle feels awesome and is good size. I am 6'6" and have large hands. I was able to fit both on the handle. Very well made!

Perfect Replica *now I just need the scabbard*

I decided to get a new Strider Sword with this re-release, as my current one was bought 2nd hand and wanted a new, nice one for my new-in-box Scabbard. The first sword I received looked nice, but had a wobbly handle, no CoA, and had a run in it's finish on some fittings as though it hadn't cured long enough before getting packed up. Budk fixed me up and the exchange was simple enough. The second one I received was solid and had all it's bits as they should be. I was kind of surprised to see that the sword was still being made in Taiwan...or at least that's what it says on the blade. I thought they were all China made now. I was happy to see that the coloring for the leather, wrapping the handle, was spot on when compared to my other sword and scabbard. My biggest disappointment with this sword is that it doesn't fit correctly in it's scabbard now. I dunno if UC made a slight change to it's dimensions or what, but I can't get the sword all the way in the scabbard. My other Strider Sword fits perfectly, but the new sword doesn't fit in my new-in-box scabbard or another Strider Scabbard I have. I prefer to display my sword with it in the scabbard. Seeing the sword doesn't fit as it should really irks me, but if you plan to display the sword without being in the scabbard it should look just fine.
