Thranduil’s Sword
Thranduil ’s unnamed sword is similar to Hadhafang . It ’s also non - canon and was only tot by the film - makers forThe Hobbittrilogy . Thranduil ’s steel also shares a like design to Hadhafang and was presumably light-colored enough to be handle with one hand . It ’s a shame that it was n’t refer , since Thranduil , the Elven king of the Woodland Realm , was quite efficient with it .
InThe Hobbit : The Battle of the Five Armies , Thranduil can even be seen wielding two of these blades , one in each hand . Like his boy Legolas , Thranduil has prove that he ’s just too godly for a moving-picture show adaptation , even with two nameless steel . His brand still gets more merit than Hadhafang , though , since it ’s in reality seen unsparingly used in armed combat .
Herugrim
Unlike the old two , Herugrim is canyon and was conceived by Tolkien himself .

Its importance is not just limit to being a royal heirloom , of course . It proved instrumental in Gandalf healing a dampen Théoden back to full strength . Théoden was progressively being poisoned by Grima Wormtongue ( Saruman ’s servant ) . It was because of Herugrim that he remembered his own strength better after give way free of Wormtongue and Saruman ’s grasp .

The devastated hero actually necessitate Gurthang to end him swiftly– to which the sword answer " Yea . " It ’s canyon ( mental image via : Silentwitness97 ) .

The Witch - King could have used his unconstipated blade but he mat extra evil ; the leaf blade is reserved for Mordor ’s great foe to be used as a penalisation . That ’s because the Morgul - sword is innately magical and vicious . A mere scratch on a live creature is usually enough to obliterate them after its toxicant hit the center of the dupe .

Gandalf can even use it to cast spells in a like function to his staff ; the wizard called upon lightning and stored it within the blade . With Glamdring , Gandalf was able-bodied to defeat the Balrog and break on to " level off up " as Gandalf the White .
