We all have our favourite character's but whose sword 'cuts the cake.'
Please people, this is G-rated.

I'm hurt that you didn't include the shards of Narsil, since they played such a valuable role in the big battle vs. Sauron.
And how well you know to tell people to keep things G-rated My pick for favorite sword is Anduril - Flame of the West. All hail the King and his sword.

Even though I proposed the poll, I can't decide! These are my favorites:
Aeglas - It was Gil-galads... duh...
Grond - (Both of them) Well come on, if you're nickname is "Hammer of the Underworld" I'd say that is pretty neat
Angrist - THAT'S a knife
Gurtholfin - Such wonderful tragedy associated with its existence... *tear* (And this is the one I'm voting for)
But ok, I've picked a favourite:
Ringil - F-I-N-G-O-L-F-I-N... and that's all I will say.

Ringil.
Anguirel (Anglachel/Gurthang's twin) there's an AU story simmering away in the back of my mind on the fate of those two swords.

Meleka dear, I believe Glorfindel's sword was called 'Gwemigel' but somebody check me on that! My memory is a bit dotty of late  Also, I've probably spelled it wrong

I agree with you BB! Ringil is probably the baddest sword EVER. I don't know of any other sword that stabbed Morgoth seven times so therefore ismust be the best one. And I like the sound of the word Ringil...
Could you add Ringil to the poll BB?

No I can't *pouts* I already tried editing the poll... 
And what is up with Anduril winning?!?! You people have no imagination... or a sick facination with Viggo Mortenson's 'sword'
Look, there I go breaking my own rule!

| I had two muses nagging me to vote for their weapon - Ereinion in one ear and Thingol in the other. But Thingol's a better nagger so I voted for Aranruth. Besides, it's a vastly underrated weapon, having been one of Thingol's swords and all. |

I have to say that my favorite would have to be Anduin and Eowyn's sword! That thing was beautiful!

My favorite sword isn't on the list!! What about Hadhafang?! In case that name draws blanks, it was the sword that belonged to Idril, then Earendil, then Elrond, and finally Arwen. It's the sword she uses in the movie when she's holding off the Wraiths. *studies a picture in front of her* And it is a sweet looking sword!

Unless that sword is in the Lost Tales (which I've only skimmed), then it's a movie invention.
But I saw the film version of Aiglos in the London LotR exibition and it was beautiful, the most stunning thing in the room.

OK, I know most of those, but how about a key for those of us who can't remember these things from the books? (Orchist?)
