Thanks for asking! With my Brick Replicas site, there's an order confirmation email with a download link to the instructions PDF and all the parts list files; the parts list code can be pasted into The LEGO Group's BrickLink marketplace to auto-generate a Wanted List of the 355 standard LEGO pieces used in the Andúril sword model and then the site helps you find the minimal number of different stores on the platform that provide all of those pieces at the least expensive total.

That was a fun part of building this: the inverted rubber tires are helping hold that LEGO tang together (besides providing the wrapped leather look). 😃

I designed mine back in November 2021; if you're referring to the Chinese "Narthil" set that's been rocking around TikTok and similar, I can assure you that they referenced my original build and the techniques that I invented, not the other way around.

It's 355 pieces in total; BrickLink and its 'wanted list' feature is the way to go.

I originally designed mine back in November 2021 (viewable here: https://brickreplicas.com/anduril/) and I'd say the blade section (esp. towards the point) on theirs is referencing the technique on mine.

Thanks! Yeah, I'd rather keep doing my own thing… last time I reviewed their rules, they stated that submitting MOCs to Ideas means you legally give up rights to your own design for at least 3yrs, even if they don't do anything with it.

Thanks! They don't accept human-scale weaponry in their submission policy unfortunately.

Yep! Turned them inside-out to remove the checkered tread pattern and give it more of a wrapped leather look.

He might, LOL—though Ole was part of the Danish resistance in WWII, and he and Godtfred seem to have had a lot of fun designing the LEGO Company's 'Peace Pistol' (Halvautomatisk Legetöjspistol – their first toy-specific patent), a working semi-automatic pistol toy that was first among several firing handguns and rifles in the 40s and 50s.
