I recently bought Aragorns Strider and i LOVE IT!!!
It is quite heavy but i wield it every night to make my muscles bigger .
My next big buy will be the scabbard for it, but i've heared that it can scratch the sword, any tips for keeping it shiny?

Spikie will tell you to use sword oil!

Ive used a little WD40 on my Anduril!  and try not to touch it with my fingers!

[Jezebel]

Even though this is totally unrelated to LOTR swords, I have a set of ninja swords (katana etc...) and I need to keep the blade clean, but I don't know what to use...

Does anyone know...?  I apparently need to apply some stuff to the blade so they don't rust

[spikealott]

Well, It all depends on what kinda sword you have, for example, if you have a 'Real' sword so called as they are functional, then you need to use Sword Oil to keep themn clean, a 'real' or 'functional' sword is usually labelled as it is made out of Carbon steel, or it could be made from Damascus Steal or even High Carbon Toledo Spring steel.

However If it's made from Stainless Steel, J2 440, J2 420 or whatever other numbers, you need only use Polish and make it look loverly that way.

However there is no harm in using Sword oil for it, The best I can recommend is the Paul Chen Sword OIl, available from BUK at only £3.30 for a bottle and £2 postage!!!!

Well, I wouldn't say they are real swords.  When I bought the, I was told not to use them because they'd break (like I'd want to use them anyway!).  I went back to the shop and they told me I should use something called "pig paste" or something like that, whatever that is and that I can get it from good hardware stores...

I don't have a clue what the blade is made out of.  I know that they're not made for proper use ( ) and they are for show only.  When I got them, they were quite greasy because they clean them before they sell them on to you, but I bought them about 6 months ago, and they are due a clean...

But if you recommend that sword oil, then I don't see why not.

[spikealott]

Well that sword oil you leave on the blades all the time, that way it stops them from Rusting at all!!

Which means you always have lovely nice clean swords. And will always look lovely for you!!

And it's not that expensive either!!

~ I was gonna buy that as well, How much did you buy it for? Instead I bought the one ring that rules them all   Unfortunately  it didn't make me invisible  .

Any ways i heard it was quite heavy, but those were how swords were made back in thee days.   And you you wanna keep the sword shiney don't buy the scabbard cause it will scratch     ~

 Errr it only scratches your sword if you don't sheat and unsheat properly, I would be more worried about not leaving it for too long in the scabbard because the tan of the leather containing tannines can rust the steel whether it be stainless (crap) or not.

 As for the weight, you are utterly wrong, no sword in the olden days, especially if it was good was over two pounds in weight, preferably 1lb and two ounces at the most for really state of the art sword.

 Of course unless you were some crazy Scot carrying a Claymore or Brian Boru, but then again these are exceptions to the rule, great for hacking whole pieces of bodies but not any fast, and well you don't want to get tired after 10 minutes of fighting in a battle that can last hours 

 Anyway when it comes to the swords I would buy from the LOTR collection, firstly I would get Haldir's sword if they ever made it, then the Elven infantry, and then Strider's those are the sword that you could have the upper hand with in a fight in my opinion,  if made with proper steel that is! tho I'm considering getting Strider's to make a template and make my own stuff out of that model witht he subsequent variations.

if its the CS ones you want, wait for the Museum Collection. They'll be absolutely mint, although you might end up waiting quite a while and paying a bundle, but hey....its LOTR!!!!

[EG]

whats the museum collection

[Kamui]

United cutlery the people who have the official license have announced they are doing a range called the museum collection which will be made out of carbon steel so will look more authentic!
am unsure whether they will be sharpened or not but i would love a fully functional version of the ranger sword!
