May 11, 2017 at 11:16 | comment | added | Stese | The film representation of the sword being reforged would have produced a VERY weak sword. Man-At-Arms Reforged (youtube) made a copy of the sword, and mentioned this in the process... for added info :P | |

May 10, 2017 at 23:23 | comment | added | Quasi_Stomach | I don't have my copy of Sillmarillion at hand, but I recall the sword Anglachel (carried by Beleg) was reforged into the sword Gurthang (for Turin). It seems whenever this sort of thing happens, the new owner gets to rename it (Aragorn did carry Narsil's shards with him, I think he officially claimed the sword as his own post-reforging) | |
May 10, 2017 at 19:58 | comment | added | Werrf | @anakindchosenone05192005 In the film, yes. In the book, Aragorn gave it its name. The quote is from the book, since it gives the most detail that I've been able to find. | |

May 10, 2017 at 19:54 | comment | added | NKCampbell | I think Werf has the right track here - I thought about adding this as an answer but just commenting for color instead. There appear to be two basic ways to 'reforge' a sword. 1) melt down the pieces and start from scratch [which I think is the spirit of the text and answer) 2) melt the ends of the broken pieces and rejoin them: swordforum.com/forums/… - it's quite possible, given a very strict reading of the text, that the process shown in the link is the 'reforging' described, in which case, it would technically be the same blade. | |
