I love Glamdring. It's so simple, but very sleek and elegant. I do also adore the Witch-King's, though... so gothic and creepy. Perhaps I'd use them both depending on what my mood is.

Blades by Brown also has a great LotR section, with helms and shields and all.

Actually, I think the Witch-King's is almost normal-looking compared to the swords used by the other Nazgul.

For a truly evil blade though, check out the sword of Sauron:

Sauron's sword

Ah, that is indeed an evil blade, every inch worthy of its wielder.

I still prefer the Witch-King's sword to those of the rest of the Nazgul, especially for the cool designs on the crossguard and the middle of the grip, and the funky-shaped pommel.

Do we even see Sauron's sword in the movies? Or perhaps a better question would be, does he use it? All I remember was him swinging that big ol' mace around...

I think it might have been intended for his duel with Aragorn at the end of RotK.
