the goblin cleaver is a sword that the goblins are terrified of, and hated it.
No, the goblins did not get Gandalf. Bilbo's yell when he discovered the goblins stealing things was enough to prevent him from being captured. Gandalf killed a number of the goblins with a big flash of lightening.
In the 3rd Chapter of The Hobbit 'A Short Rest', Gandalf and Thorin show their swords to Elrond at Rivendell. He tells them they were made by the High Elves of the West. In Riddles in the Dark, Bilbo pulls out his sword and it glows in the dark. He thought it rather splendid to be wearing a sword that glowed the way Gandalf and Thorin's swords did. Bilbo's little sword, which he later gives the name 'Sting', is of the same design and has the same magic.
The cave was dry and unoccupied. What they didn't know was that it was the 'front door' for the goblins living in the mountain. The goblins discovered them and captured them, but not before Bilbo shouted a warning that allowed Gandalf to escape capture and ultimately rescue them.
The Goblins knew the weapon as 'biter' and it was made specifically to fight against them.
The Goblins nicknamed Orcrist - "Biter" .
Bilbo's sword Sting glows blue when Goblins and Orcs are near.
Thorin's sword was called Orchrist, but the goblins called it Biter. -sam-is-my-hero-
the goblin cleaver is a sword that the goblins are terrified of, and hated it.
According to J.R.R. Tolkien they glow in the presence of ogres and orcs and goblins.

in the war of goblins and elves or dwarf's (i forget which) the swords carried by gandalf and Thorin were both used by great warriors, who killed many goblins using the swords, the swords are synonymous with goblin death. they even went so far as to call the swords beater and bitter
Biter was a blade forged in Gondolin, and slew many goblins.

Dumbledore left Harry a fake Gryffindor Sword in his Will knowing that the Ministry would not allow him to have it (the real one was later returned to him by Severus Snape). So when Voldemort took over the Ministry he ordered Bellatrix to place the fake sword (which he thought was real) inside her family vault. The reason for doing this is subjective, but it could be assumed that because the sword is one of the only objects capable of destroying a Horcrux, Voldemort wanted to ensure that no one had access to it who would use it to destroy them.While in Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix was in possession of the actual Gryffindor Sword but was tricked quite miraculously by a tortured Hermione into thinking that it was fake, and with a little help from a Gringott's Goblin who later agreed to help the trio in infiltrating the bank in exchange for the sword as it was designed by goblins and goblins believe that once a person dies, the item returns to the possession of the goblins who made it.Note: Dumbledore didn't own the Sword, so his Will was obviously invalid; it was nothing but a hint to Harry.Tom Riddle asked her to keep it in her safe in Gringotts.
Sting's blade glows when goblins or orcs are nearby (the two species are technically the same).
