Limited Edition Lord of the Rings Sword

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has inspired a great deal of impressive movie memorabilia and collector's items, and now master swordsmith Peter Lyon has added Strider's Sword to the mix -- the sword Aragorn carried when he lived as a ranger in the wilds. Designed by Ben Wootten and made in New Zealand, it's available in a limited edition of only 10 -- just 3 of which are still available. All are delivered in a wooden display case along with a certificate of authenticity and a DVD about the making of the Master Swordsmith's Collection. $8,000
