The lattice is vaguely Elven in design, and holds a great power. Within the crown, the wood has grown around a hollow, white lattice-shaped bulb. Gandalf’s staff appears to be a natural piece of wood, but the crown of the shaft holds something supernatural. 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. The attached polyresin pipe and spike replicas are removable, and the staff comes with a polystone wall display that matches the display design of United's other staff replicas from The Hobbit.Fiberglass is just usually a bit stronger, from what I understand.

United Cutlery's Staff of Gandalf the Grey is an authentic replica of the movie prop cast in polyresin with authentic details and coloring. Pushed into the side of the staff is a nail spike which Gandalf uses as a tobacco tamper, and once used to scratch a rune into the door of Bilbo Baggins home in Hobbiton. Radagast's rune mark is carved into the side and the crown features a grooved shape that once held Radagast's blue crystal, now serving as a place for Gandalf to store his pipe.

As well as being Gandalf's trusted walking stick and a fighting weapon when in need, it holds a deep magical power. It was once owned by Radagast the Brown, crafted from an upturned, twisted sapling once crowned with twig and root-like protrusions, but now all broken and worn down. The staff of the Gandalf the Grey is a symbol of his status as an 'Istari', or Wizard. Staff of Gandalf the Grey - Lord of the Rings Due to the size can only be shipped on a 48 hour large service.
