Morgul Blade The Witch-King of Angmar | Nazgûl Lord of the Rings Sword

The Morgul-blade was one of the most sinister weapons deployed by Sauron's servants. Unlike ordinary weapons, a shard of the blade would break off inside the wound and slowly migrate toward the heart. Any victim not treated in time would become a wraith — a shadow-servant of the Dark Lord. Tolkien first described the blade in The Fellowship of the Ring; Peter Jackson's film adaptation visualised it as a slender, wickedly angular short-sword carried by the Witch-King at the ancient watchtower of Weathertop (Amon Sûl). It is one of the most iconic props in the trilogy.

What is the Morgul-blade from Lord of the Rings?

It is the cursed short sword carried by the Witch-King of Angmar and used to stab Frodo at Weathertop. A shard left in the wound would slowly turn the victim into a wraith.

How long is the Witch-King's Morgul blade?

This replica measures 64 cm (25") overall with a 44 cm (17") blade — consistent with the proportions of the screen prop.

Is the blade sharpened?

No. This is a display replica with an unsharpened blade, safe for wall mounting and collecting.

What does Morgul mean?

In Tolkien's Sindarin language, "Morgul" means "dark sorcery" — the same root as Minas Morgul, the tower of the Nazgûl.

Who wields the Morgul-blade?

The Witch-King of Angmar — the most powerful of Sauron's nine Ringwraiths (Nazgûl) — carried the blade.
