During the Dwarven Quest to reclaim their homeland of the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug, the Mirkwood Elvenking Thranduil had forged and owned a sword of Elvish manufacture. It first appears in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and appears as a long Elven sword with a long but bare grip and a curved hilt with carved Elvish runes on the blade. It has a straight blade. Thranduil had used this sword to execute the Orc soldier Narzug after an interrogation.
