Narsil shattered at the end of the Second Age during the battle against Sauron, when Elendil fell. His son Isildur used a fragment to cut the One Ring from Sauron's finger. The shards were kept in Rivendell for 3,000 years before being reforged for Aragorn. This collector's item may have sharp edges, so improper or careless handling could result in injury.
