Legolas' knives and Aragorn's dagger will be the next additions to my weapons' collection.


You are going to buy more weapons! I just have to ask, do you own the entire LOTR weapons collection?
Gorwingel: No, not the entire collection, just selected items. I'm not really interested in the orc scimitars or the Ringwraiths' swords. Mainly the "good guys" weapons. After the knives & dagger, I also want the scabbard for the Ranger sword. Herugrim (Theoden's sword) & Gśthwinė (Éomer's sword) will be available sometime in 2004 (I think), as well as Éowyn's & Boromir's swords. Eventually, they will also have the long Elvish sword (from the prologue & Helm's Deep)..the one with the really long hand grip and the long curved blade. Sooooo cool looking!! Who knew I would want to collect weapons...I've never even owned a pocket knife before. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I'm curious, since Sting has been my focus and I'm not farmiliar with Elvish weaponry, what is meant when you say "white" knives? Is it the color of the metal?
Samwise: Tolkien called it "a long white knife". When reading the books, I always considered it to be the color of the metal blade, but I think in the films they also made the wood a really light color (not to mention giving him that second knife).
