well, it's originally designed like that in the movies, historically it would be backwards, i do love the poetic aspect of this not being from the world of living, hence the upside reference.
@@stevealford230 nope, just a medievalist who got into arms and armour from lifelong exposure to Tolkien. The movies did a grave disservice to Tolkien's works, and to understanding of weapons and armour. But do go on.
@@Josh_Green44 The movies absolutely were an insult to real Medieval weapons... but I read LotR and The Hobbit, and I don't recall *explicit* detailed descriptions of Orc blades or even the Nazgul weapons, just a generic description of the blade type with explicit focus on the nasty supernatural effects of the weapons... so it actually seemed decently reasonable for the blindly evil and ignorant orcs to assemble some parts of weapons upside-down, because it's hard in all the darkness to otherwise illustrate their incompetence at it as a force of evil focused on making weapons as quickly as possible instead of learning to do it correctly or caring whether it's correct. But as a bladesmith, it p*sses me off that they did the stupid Hollywood version of forging instead of actually reforging the King's sword that was broken, or even just forge welding it and then normalizing, re-quenching, tempering, and sharpening it hastily... anything would be better than the bs they did with Anduril.

Tell me that you don't know what a Morgul Blade is, without telling me that you don't know what a Morgul Blade is.

@@noricsteelforge yes, a movie prop, and sadly not a functional hilt-design.
