The Hobbit - Orcrist, the Sword of Thorin Oakenshield

Orcrist, the of Thorin Oakenshield

An Original Sword of the movie The Hobbit made by United Cutlery

In the Third Age of Middle-Earth, Thorin Oakenshield and his Company of Dwarves come upon a troll lair in Rhûdaur. Thorin finds an ancient Elven sword named Orcrist (= Orc-cleaver), which was crafted by the High Elves of the West in Gondolin. Thorin claims Orcrist for himself and vows to cleave Orcs with it once again. He wields the sword through most of the Quest of Erebor and uses it against the Orcs and Goblins of the Misty Mountains. The Orcs fear and hate it in equal measure and call it Biter. Orcrist is single-edged. Its blade is sharp and curved on one side and straight along the spine, a design perfectly suited for slaying Orcs and Goblins. The metal pommel displays the heraldry of the house of Ecthelion, the Lord of the Fountain. The hilt is made of a dragon's tooth. It is unclear whether this tooth was fitted prior to the Fifth Battle of the First Age, or only integrated after the Fall of Gondolin, together with the inscriptions.
 
Elven runes on the sword:

The name Orcrist (= Orc-cleaver) can be read on the guard.

The inscription running along both sides of the blade has been translated as being The Serpent's Tooth.
