Morgul Dagger - Blade of the Nazgul

Morgul Dagger - Blade of the Nazgul

A Morgul Dagger is a magical, poisonous dagger used by Ringwraiths in Middle-earth during the Third Age. After it tastes flesh, the dagger breaks, leaving a shard of the blade in its victim. The remaining blade soon turns to dust, and the shard works its way through the body to the heart. If the shard of the blade stays in the victim for too long the victim becomes a wraith.

In the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a shade of the Witch-King of Angmar uses a Morgul Dagger to attack Radagast the Brown at Dol Guldur, but Radagast fends off the shade and takes the weapon, giving it to Gandalf. Gandalf later tries to use the Morgul blade as proof that the White Council should attack Dol Guldur, but Saruman overrules him. Saruman believes that there is no proof that it could be a Morgul blade, but Elrond points out that the blade was buried with the Witch-King of Angmar in a cave sealed by magic.

The Morgul blade is 25-1/8" overall, featuring a stainless AUS-6 steel blade, solid metal hilt parts, and a leather wrapped grip, all authentically "aged" and "battle worn" with a distressed, acid-etched finish to duplicate the original movie prop as closely as possible. It is presented with a wood wall display (mounting hardware and instructions included) featuring a graphic motif of the Witch-King crown, and includes a certificate of authenticity.

This authentically detailed replica is a reproduction of the actual filming prop built by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and used in the motion picture, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. United Cutlery, industry leader in fine movie reproductions, has meticulously recreated the prop using only the finest grade materials and craftsmanship. Close attention to detail was a top priority.
