Merry's sword took a little while to perish - Merry cuts the WK's thighs, WK fall, Merry drops the sword. Eowyn then kills the WK. THEN they notice its smoking - so the blade is still there, but smoking. THEN it disappears.
Looking ONLY at thr sword, there should be enough time for a 3-4 swings with the same sword at the WK before it melted.
