Daggers in Middle Earth

In professor JRR Tolkien's fictitious world of Middle Earth there many knives witch play a chief role in shaping his characters' history. The most obvious example one might recall is the short sword sting witch Frodo and Bilbo carried in to battle. Althow I've just called a short sword it really was a dagger or long knife probably used by an important elf lord in Gondolin before it fell to Sauron's master in the first age named Morgoth. When the dagger was found again by Bilbo in the troll cave as told in The Hobbit it was large enough according to a hobbit's shorter stature to serve as a short sword but for all intended purposes it was originally a dagger or at the very least a long deadly knife used by a warrior in the service of Turgon high king of Gondolin where it was forged. Like its mate it glowed blue when orcs were close and could cut threw spider webs with relative ease. If Bilbo or frodo hadn't possesed Sting then thay couldn't have survived thare encounter with Gollum and spiders. Frodo uses sting to cut the webs of Shelub the Spider in The Two Towers and later it is Sting guided by the careful and heroic character Samwise witch ingers Shelob in her own lare. These events are in the film version of the Return of the King. In the fellowship of the Ring book Sam, Marry, and Pippin along with Frodo obtain daggers out of a barrow of the north kingdom forged to withstand the cruel men and orcs under the command of the Witch king out of Angmar thousands of years before the company of the ring was asembled. Marry uses one of these daggers to inger the WWitch King in Gondor and Sam's dagger is taken by the servants of the enemy and brought before Gandalf and compiny at the Black Gates by the Mouth of Sauron in order to folsely convince Frodo's frends that the ring barrer is in the hands of the enemy. Frodo looses his sword when the Morgul Lord AKA the Witch King brakes it at the Ford of Bruanin so he inherrits sting from Bilbo. In the films these daggers were given to Marry Pippin, and the other hobbits by Aragorn on AmanSul or Wethertop just before thay are attacked by ring raiths. Later on in the films ball the hobbits exept get knew daggers in Lorian. Another cool dagger is Angrist in the Silmarrillion. Angrist was forged in the first age by Telchar the smith of Nogrod and passed in to the hands of the sons of Feonor before it
was taken by Berren who used it to cut the imortal holly Silmaril from Morgoth's iron crown. A Silmarril is a jewwel made by Feonor
containing the light of two trees witch gave middle earth it's light fore thousands of years before the son or moon were set to sail the skies.
Fore more details check my blogs on the Silmarrillion witch should be easy for any fan to read if you've seen or read the Lord of the Rings. Finnally the most intersting use of a dagger in Tolkien's works in my opinnion is the kinife witch the witchking uses to inger frodo in the
felloship of the ring but I have alreddy writen at length abought that dagger in my last blog abought ring raiths. Thank you and may your
swords always stay sharp.
