The Black Blade Gurthang Iron of Death forged by Eol and used by Turin to slay Glaurung i think really was the most amazing weapon in Tolkien lore.It could give off a blast of flame that sent Orcs to their deaths and it in only one slice could slay a Dragon and even Meklor feared it.And in the end it even spoke to Turin showing that it even had thought of its own.If you read about Stormbringer the Black sword of Elric they seem almost to be the same sword.
