Sting was an Elven shortsword made in Gondolin during the First Age. After wielding it during the Quest of Erebor, Bilbo Baggins had it engraved with the Sindarin text, "Maegnas aen estar nin dagnir in yngyl im".

Though just a dagger by the standard of elves, it made a perfect short sword for a Hobbit, although it was still rather small, as Bilbo initially chose to wear it "inside his breeches" and was still able to travel and even run without any apparent inconvenience. Shortly before the War of the Ring, Bilbo gave Sting to Frodo. After the defeat of Sauron at the end of the Third Age, Frodo entrusted Sting to Sam Gamgee and it became an heirloom of the Gamgee family. Read More...
