Official Licensed Lord of The Rings product by United Cutlery
Arwen’s sword is called Hadhafang, which means throng cleaver. It once belonged to the Elven princess Idril, who wed a mortal man and bore Earendil, the father of Elrond, who in turn was father to Arwen. At the end of the Second Age of Middle-Earth, before Arwen was born, Elrond wielded Hadhafang during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron. Later, his daughter Arwen used this mighty sword when she aided Frodo in his escape from the Ringwraiths (Nazgûl).
Inscribed on the blade are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say: aen estar Hadhafang i chathol hen, thand arod dan i thang an i Arwen, which translates to: This blade is called Hadhafang, a noble defense against the enemy throng for a noble lady. There is an intentional pun in the inscription, as the Sindarin translation of “noble lady” is arwen. So in effect, the blade claims to be for Arwen even though it was made for her great-grandmother Idril.
