“I may be small… but I’m still sharp!”
Bring a touch of Middle-earth magic to your backyard with this one-piece 3D-printed hilt inspired by Bilbo & Frodo’s legendary sword, Sting—reimagined for pool noodle fun, not orc-slaying.

Perfect for little adventurers, big Tolkien fans, and anyone who enjoys shouting “I’m going on an adventure!” while sprinting across the lawn.

What This Model Is

A single-piece pool noodle sword hilt shaped after the elegant blade profile of Sting.

Designed to screw inside a standard pool noodle, it instantly transforms it into a safe, squishy version of the famous Elven short sword.

Shines blue when orcs are near!*
(*Not actually true… unless your neighbour Gary counts or you buy a glow in the dark pool noodle.)
