United Cutlery Lord of the Rings Glamdring Sword | Officially Licensed Replica | Sword of Gandalf | 35 1/4" Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Blade

After reading other peoples highly rated reviews, I decided to order this sword. I kept my expectations down low since the reviews were so glowing and I didn't want to get disappointed. I had ordered mine on Amazon from BUDK which sent me a sword that somehow got lost in transit, however BUDK was very cool and sent me another sword right away. Upon opening the sword, I was so happy! Glamdring the Foe Hammer had arrived! Just as the other reviewers had said, this sword is awesome. It looks exactly like the swords used in the movies. Very well constructed not some cheaply made decoration. The first thing you'll notice aside from the great visual aesthetics when you pick it up is the weight of it. Although listed at about 4.5 pounds, when the weight is spread over 47 inches long, it's heavy. It feels like 10 pounds. Thankfully it is false edged, meaning that it is not sharp. Something this heavy, this long - were it sharpened would definitely be hazardous. The tip of the sword is sharp. I already put a hole in my ceiling. It's not a beater sword - so don't go around hitting things with it- if that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere. If you're a fan of the films, and have a love of swords, get this sword! I recommend purchasing the scabbard as well if you have the money. To me, a sword is not complete without the scabbard which was designed with this sword. And using the scabbard, I can prop this up in the corner of my room. Also, make sure that you purchase the official licensed sword made by United cutlery. There are some knockoffs, which are poor quality. Have fun, be safe!

Amazing and hefty. Delivered a good 5 days before the delivery date. Smiles for days about this gift from the person it was gifted to.

An excellent replica. Mine is authentic United Cutlery (bought on Amazon).PROS:- Looks strikingly similar to the movie version- Absolutely feels solid- Comes with a great display wall plaque for mountingCONS:- Heavy. Heavy. Heavy. You ain't gonna be the Gandalf in the movies, staff in one hand, swinging this sword in another. You CAN hold it with one hand, but this is a two-handed weapon. Glamdring would be lighter if the fantasy blade existed in real life, but, since this is a human made reproduction, it is quite hefty.- Does NOT come with a scabbard. It's criminal that either the blue OR white scabbards are sold separately AND they cost $200 - EACH! Seriously, y'all could have made a simple scabbard to cover the blade?- Unsharpened. This could be a "PRO" as well, since you can't use it as a combat blade. However, the point is quite pointy, and will do 1d20 points of stabby damage (in real life)OVERALL:If you want a great movie prop that is close to what you see on the big screen, this'll do it. Just don't expect to dual-wield unless you've the muscle mass of Arnold.

I got the LOTR version since it gives you the special packaging cover (rather than a sticker on the packaging box) and it gives you the LOTR certificate and signage.

I mean, fit and finish aren’t high-quality but what are you expect for the price?! For a wall hanger she’s a beaut!!

I was lucky to pick up a museum collection Glamdring for a steal of a price, and of course I had to get the officially licensed scabbard to go with it. This is probably not worth more than a hundred bucks, but if you can find a good deal on it, let me reassure you that the quality is great and it is worth picking up for your Glamdring replica. The leather is soft, the trim is tightly fastened, and the sword looks straight up kingly in this scabbard. I am such a nerd.

I ordered this sword after looking around for the best quality Glamdring Replica i could find. I read a few that were flimsy, cheap, or very flexible metal, and were only for decoration. Then I read a few reviews on this one and decided to buy it. It was well worth my money. Beheading all these Orcs will be quite simple now that i have the power of Gandalf's sword at my side. Fantastic product, worth every cent!

I got this scabbard for my Glamdring Museum Collection sword. When I got it, I inspected it and found a small yellow spot on the back of the scabbard. It wasn't a huge deal as it was a small and was covered up with the buckles easily. It looks very nice overall, but kind of has a slightly aged look to it because of the material that is used. It came with the original box and COA quite nicely.The two reasons I didn't give it a 5 star was because 1. The yellow spot and 2. It didn't latch on to the sword, so the scabbard would fall off if it was turned upside down, or displayed hanging only by the hand guard with nothing help keep the scabbard on. Not sure if it would be different on the regular Glamdring instead of the Museum Collection.However for $55, I would recommend it.
