 This sword is first seen in the film scene at the river ford, where Arwen says of Frodo "If you want him, come and claim him!" to the Ringwraiths trying to obtain the ring from him.
Hadhafang, which means Throng-cleaver, once belonged to the Elven princess Idril, who wed a mortal man and bore Earendil, the father of Elrond who in turn was father to Arwen.
Inscribed on the replica sword blade are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i thang an i arwen." Which translates to "this blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defence against the enemy throng for a noble lady."There is an intentional pun in the inscription - the Sindarin translation of "noble lady" is "arwen", so in effect, the blade claims to be for Arwen, even though it was made for her grandmother.
