But IMO, it isn't as nice looking as the weta or even the united cutlery ones. I think it was an angus trim/Christian fletcher collaboration if i recall correctly. There is however one rather famous sword maker that does something quite similar to glamdring. I would presume they would have much more experience forging your usual European blades or oriental blades which is a whole different cattle of fish. If you go get your own sword smith to custom make a sword to replicate orcrist or glamdring, you're going to pay easily $1000+ and the smith who is doing it will also be learning on the job due to the aforementioned unusual blade shape. If you try, you'll just mess up the tempering of the blade and all the characteristics of it (hardness, flex, edge retention etc) and therefore render the sword no longer functional. And you can't exactly modify a blade beyond inscribing stuff on the surface, changing its finish or maybe changing the cutting edge profile. Neither gandalf staff from NC or weta ship till close to summer, so I guess we will have to wait to see!Įr.the type of modification you are talking about would be very very extensive since both orcrist and glamdring have unique blade shapes. It can illuminate with power in the movie, but not sure if it actually has a crystal? I love the NC for lighting up, but I didn't know if it would look odd. I know there is a "core" that looks whiter than the wood, but i'm not sure of a crystal. None of the versions of gandy's have great pics that I have seen. i love some of UC/NC's plaques and wall hangers. So you should be fine getting gandalf in a few days, and it also has other versions out there, so it shouldn't sell out as quick as radagasts! But yeah, I shuddered a bit having them pre-auth my card a minute ago too. Weta keep the money on there for a few days, then they drop it off. but it isn't as strong as regular fiberglass? Anyone else know enough to chime in on that? Poly-resin i think uses some fiberglass in it, if i remember. Fiberglass is just usually a bit stronger, from what I understand.
