Silmaril

Hey, Joy! I look forward to reading what you learn from the master swordsmith. Maybe you could ask him how the shards of Narsil could be reforged into Andúril? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

To me it makes no sense. A totally new blade on Narsil's hilt, yes, but patching together a broken blade, no. You certainly couldn't melt it down to reuse it - the edges would be of hard steel while the centre would be Damascus steel - it would become a single steel alloy of the wrong composition for either centre or edge.
