** LOTR Weapons - Boromir's sword

Boromir's sword

Eldest son of Denethor, the steward of Gondor, Boromir was a proud and strong man who was considered by his fellow soldiers to be one of the most skilled swordsman of Gondor.

Boromir's sword is single-handed, big, broad and powerful - a fit complimentary to its owner.

The blade's flattened diamond shape and equally wide fuller reduced weight, yet retained strength in the end of the blade by stopping just short of the tip. It was equally effective for slashing against lightly armored opponents and for thrusting into more heavily protected enemies.

The guard, similar to that of his father's sword, showed a warrior's flourish in that it was formed from a square-edged piece of steel that had been twisted before being curved into a crescent.
