I would like to know if you have any tips to recreate the sound when Gandalf takes Glamdring (the sword at 2:17)?
Or if you have a similar resource to share?
Thank you.

First thing it made me think of was a passing jet [basically a dopplered white noise] with a ring-mod or flanger effect.
For Gandalf's sword flying, I would've used the agressive, yet distinct sound of a rocket launching and using a doppler effect and ring modulation to make it less airy and more metallic. Of course it comes to personal preference.
similar to what 7HzResearch said:
add a an OSC and make the sound slide to play the same pitch and modify the volume to be similar as well
add a bitcrusher and a ring filter
automate those effects
distort it a little bit
add some reverb
here is a demo
or did you mean the metal clang of the sword (any sword) itself only?
