I like Orcrist, I just don't agree with the direction they went on it. My understanding was that Glamdring and Orcrist were sister blades and thus should be of similar design. This Orcrist looks more like Sting, which was just some random dagger.
I agree. IMO, even swords that are sister blades shouldn't look almost identical. Save minor details, this looks like Sting cut in half lengthwise, with a different hand grip. It's just not as creative as I hoped from Weta.
