ORCRIST United Cutlery or Noble Collection, Which to get??

[JazzInc]

I am thinking of getting Orcrist, but am torn between the UC and Noble Collection version. I like the look of the handle on the Noble better and some reviews say that this time Noble is actually better.

Which to get?

I got one of the United Cutlery Orcrist swords in for a customer and we were not impressed with the overall quality. I would get one in person and not order online if you can.

I got the United Cutlery Orcrist, the quality is outstanding. Its made of a good quality carbon steel, it has a full tang, and has great detailing on the pommel. It also has more of a hand forged look with no obvious machining marks. For price and quality United Cutlery is the best way to go for LOTR/Hobbit sword replicas, Noble Collection doesn't come close IMO. Hope this helps.

I also have the United Cutlery Orcrist and I think it is very good quality.

UN is more detailed.
Look at the hilt,it contains 4 diamonds,that the Nobel doesn't have.
Realize the hilt is a dragon tooth.

Another exemple is th key to Erebor.
I had in hand the Noble one with map,it's to shining new,alsomissing some details compared to the Weta key,that looks used,al the wright letters in it and stripes,and also made of heavy material.
