Whose sword is Glamdring? Looks very cool....sharp and shiny.

[Inquisitor]

Gandalf's.

My wife got me one of those replicas for me birthday 2 years ago.

very cool

[Clave]

That *looks* like a very cool sword, got better pics?

[BlackDove]

Nice looking but practically useless.....good for wrist training tho.

Nice.

[aldo_14]

Mine's bigger than that.

[Unknown Target]

Could you not actually sharpen that and make it into a real weapon?

[Kazan]

i was annoyed in the movie when they didn't have glamdring glow like it should have

whenever sting glowed blue glamdring should have been glowing white

[Lynx]

Now you just need the corresponding fork.

[Ford Prefect]

Nice coat.

Glamdring was the sword of the elven king of Gondolin, Turgon. How it made it to Gandalf's hands I have no idea...

In the movie, it did glow twice (when fighting balrog on the bridge, and when falling down)

I'm more pissed about Narsil (Anduril). The book sez it glowed with the light of the Sun and the Moon (yellowish during the day, and bluish over the night I wager.... don't know for a fact)

[Fineus]

Probably removed so that people don't get confused as to why there are so many different glowing swords - Frodos is the only one that gets explained.

Haven't you read the Hobbit? If you want to be a fanboi, at least know some basic facts about your subject

They would have to explain all these nuances to people who hadn't read the book, after all - such as myself.

I think that was the staff that was glowing, not the sword... but I can't find a screencap and my brother has the video; someone check this?

[Ashrak]

bilbo found the glamdring in orc caves or something?

[karajorma]

Bilbo, Gandalf and the Dwarves found Glamdring and Sting along with Orcrist and a bunch of other treasure that the three trolls had taken from anyone unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

How on Earth three such weapon happened to be taken by the trolls is anyones guess.

[pyro-manic]

They probably just found them somewhere.  I suspect an elf-lord (the only people likely to have a high-elf sword) would kick the **** out of a troll.

UT: No. They're made of crappy soft stainless steel. You could sharpen it, and it'd cut something, but it'd go blunt/get notched/bend very quickly, so it wouldn't be useful for very long..... You need a carbon steel blade for a proper edge.

[diamondgeezer]

Yup, you could easily snap the blade on this thing. But then, it's decorative and not for killing... in theory...

Just use it for opening very large letters.
